What's the difference between a muffin and a cupcake?
Seriously, if you put a plain chocolate muffin and and unfrosted chocolate cupcake next to each other on a table they're the same.
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

Cupcakes are typically made from a sweet light batter (cake batter). They are usually frosted or sugared and may have sprinkles on them. These tend to be pure desert.
Muffins are typically made from denser grain batters and are both more nutritious and more filling. They may have fruits and berries added. I've never seen one frosted or sugared. These tend to be considered as more wholesome food.

Cupcakes use cake batter and all that sweet goodness.
Muffin batter while made with mostly the same ingredients (often more bland) but its thicker.
You have muffins for breakfast and cupcakes for desserts and parties.
But you are an adult and can whatever you want for whatever time of day.
