Muffins are a type of "quick bread," which uses baking powder or baking soda as leavening. Yeast requires an hour or more to raise dough or batter, and produces a different crumb than desired in (American) muffins.

Why are biscuits quick bread?

Quick breads such as muffins, unlike yeast breads, can be baked immediately after the ingredients are mixed. In other words, there is no need to wait for leavening to occur before baking the muffins because they rise during baking. Therefore, they are relatively quick to make. Yeast breads on the other hand require a lot of time for leavening before baking and are much more time consuming.Source: "Understanding Food" by Amy Brown
