  • 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.

    • An update: My wife reminded me that her favorite muffins before she changed to a Keto diet had lots of nuts in them. Nuts tend to be highly nutritious.

    • I now want to frost a chocolate muffin, stuff it with chocolate cream, and put sprinkles on it. I'll give it to someone and bamboozle the fuck out of them. XD

      • To be fair those packaged individual muffins you find at crappy hotel breakfasts and school lunches are more close to cupcakes than muffins.

        • Those hotel muffins are like that middle ground between a muffin and cupcake. They're not that great, but if the breakfast buffet comes with the hotel stay, I'm getting my fill. XD
