Tips:

Choose high-quality crab meat. Fresh or frozen lump crab meat is best, but flaked or shredded crab meat can also be used.
Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the muffins. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, celery, carrots, and corn.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the muffins at a high temperature. This will help them rise and brown properly. 375°F (190°C) is a good temperature.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
