The name muffin itself comes either from “muffe” or “moufflet”. Muffe is a kind of cake from Germany and moufflet is a French word which means a soft bread.Generally muffins lack icing.But I decided to add the chocolate sauce .My muffins are made up of whole wheat flour as it is more healthy,but you can surely go for refined wheat flour or Maida as it will definitely taste better.
Hope you like the recipe.
