Tips:

  • Use a muffin pan with liners: This will help the muffins come out of the pan easily.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack: This will help them hold their shape.
