Are cream puffs muffins or cupcakes?

Cream puffs are neither muffins nor cupcakes; they are a type of pastry made from choux dough. This dough is piped and baked to create a hollow shell that is typically filled with cream, custard, or other sweet fillings. Unlike muffins and cupcakes, which are baked batters, cream puffs have a light, airy texture and are often enjoyed as a dessert.
