Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - For a crispy muffin top, sprinkle a cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter before baking. - Fill the muffin cups only ⅔ full to prevent overflow during baking. - To check if the muffins are done, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
