Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your muffins will taste. If possible, use organic, locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dense muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: To ensure that your muffins are evenly cooked, fill each muffin cup with the same amount of batter.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if your muffins are done baking.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: Allow the muffins to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
