There are two main types of muffin, the American muffin, which is an individual sized quick bread that is very similar to the cupcake, and what is called the English muffin (outside of the UK anyway), which is a flattened disc shape of leavened bread. This particular day celebrates a variety of American muffin. These can be both sweet and savoury; a blueberry muffin is naturally a sweet variety.
Blueberries are a type of fruit - which tend to be indigo-coloured, rather than blue - that is in season at this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere. The blueberry muffin will have blueberries mixed into the batter; it may also have a centre of blueberry preserves, which can be injected into the muffin.
