United Kingdom
Most British supermarkets sell variations on the standard bread muffin, notably cheese, wholemeal and even cinnamon and raisin. A distinct species of baked good, with pieces of chocolate, blueberries or other dried fruit, are also sold in the United Kingdom as "muffins". Muffins are also available in traditional British tea rooms, served with breakfast or low/afternoon tea although tea cakes are more commonly found in such places.

“He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.””
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 13:31,32.
