Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and gather all your ingredients and equipment. This will make the baking process smoother and more efficient.
- Muffin Pan Preparation: Grease or line a muffin pan with paper liners to prevent the muffins from sticking.
- Muffin Batter Consistency: The muffin batter should be thick and creamy, but not too runny. If the batter is too thin, the muffins may not rise properly.
- Folding in Ingredients: When folding in ingredients such as chopped apples or walnuts, do so gently to avoid overmixing the batter.
- Streusel Topping: For a crispy streusel topping, use cold butter and flour. You can also add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
- Baking Time and Temperature: Bake the muffins according to the recipe instructions. Overbaking can dry out the muffins, while underbaking can leave them raw in the center.
