Any muffin eaten for breakfast. The page history will show you that the entry has changed over time: apparently the original creator thought it was one specific type of muffin, but it ain't. Therefore it's SoP. Equinox ◑ 02:35, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

 * We'll unfortunately have to delete. I always think of 'breakfast muffin' as referring to English muffins rather than American muffins as the large bakery chains Warburtons and Kingsmill sell English muffins as 'breakfast muffins' in pretty much every supermarket and cornershop in Britain (just look at the Tesco/Morrisons/Sainsburys/Asda websites for proof) but Morrisons own-brand 'breakfast muffins' are bizarrely American muffins not English ones. In fact I could only find reference to American muffins being 'breakfast muffins' on Google Books after checking a fair few pages of hits (though this is in American books). Slightly unusually Tesco choose to officially call their own-brand English muffins 'English muffins' rather than simply 'muffins' or 'breakfast muffins' FWIW. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 23:55, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. Lots of breakfast and other occasion-things created by food marketing. Idiomaticity needs strong evidence in such cases, lest we fall victim to hot air. There are many idiomatic terms in this area yet to be added, like between-seasons jackets are a thing, but one has to be careful. Textual evidence alone is opaque, in product marketing and the media influenced by it. Fay Freak (talk) 11:41, 24 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Being "created by food marketing" of course isn't in itself a reason to delete ("yumberry"?), even if it's obnoxious. Equinox ◑ 02:35, 12 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete, SOP per all of the above. PUC – 12:13, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
