This will help to ensure a smooth batter. - Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in tough muffins. - Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full, as the muffins will rise during baking. - Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving.
