Muffins evolved from early 18th-century English baked goods, often made with leftover bread dough. The American muffin, using chemical leavening agents like baking powder, allowed for a quicker, more cake-like result compared to the English muffin, which is yeast-risen and cooked on a griddle. Columbus Café's muffins represent a modern adaptation of this American classic.
Muffins are a widely enjoyed breakfast and snack item in American culture and have been adopted globally. They are often associated with comfort food and quick, convenient treats.
