Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss any steps.
- Measure Accurately: Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for baking, as precise measurements are essential for success.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. This is especially important for the coffee and cream cheese filling.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the Muffin Tins Properly: Fill the muffin tins about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: Bake the muffins at the temperature specified in the recipe. If you bake them at too high a temperature, they may brown too quickly and not cook through. If you bake them at too low a temperature, they may not rise properly.
- Let the Muffins Cool Completely: Allow the muffins to cool completely before filling them. This will help the filling to set properly.
