  • Use a combination of flours: Using a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour or oat flour will give your muffins a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if the muffins are done.
