Muffin
A muffin is an individual quick bread baked in a cup mould, sweet and cake-like in the café style.
What it means for a café
Keeps far better than a croissant, which is why it dominates counters at chains where stock must survive a delivery schedule rather than a morning bake. That durability is exactly what makes it a low-risk loyalty reward.
This page describes muffin in general. It is not a description of any particular chain’s recipe, and the photograph is not of any named company’s product.
