Unlike in English, where 'muffin top' is a common slang term for body fat, this expression does not exist as a native idiom in German.
In German baking culture, a Muffin is frequently distinguished from a Cupcake by the absence of frosting, though both are often grouped under the umbrella of Muffins in casual speech.
In Germany, Muffins are often treated as a category of cake, meaning you will find them in a Konditorei or pastry shop rather than just a bakery.
