Chocolate Chips Muffin

A muffin is an American English name for a type of bread that is baked in small portions. Many forms are somewhat like small cakes or cupcakes in shapes, although they are usually not as sweet as cupcakes and generally lack frosting.

Muffins are often eaten for breakfast, alternatively, they may be served  for tea or at other meals. There are many varieties and flavors or muffins made with a specific ingredient such as blueberries, cinnamon, banana, orange, strawberry, almond, and the most popular - chocolate chips.

Chocolate chips are small chunks of chocolate. Chocolate chips are often sold in a round, flat-bottomed teardrop shape.
