It is hard to say who made the first muffin. However, this does not mean that muffins do not have a history of their own.

Bread has been a common staple food for thousands of years. Despite this, it was not until the 19th century that muffins became somewhat common. Around this time, people known as Muffin Men went door-to-door delivering fresh muffins. These muffins, however, were not the muffin now commonly associated with the food, but English muffins, flattened versions of their American counterparts. Both versions are still common today.

In the 1970's and 1980's, muffins finally earned the fame they deserved. A sudden demand for healthier foods resulted in an increase in muffin popularity. Preservatives were added to many muffins so they could last longer without going stale. Somewhere along the way, there was a brief trend consisting of eating only the top of the muffin, rather than the entire muffin.
