  • Fill the muffin tins properly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full to prevent overflowing during baking.
  • Bake until a toothpick comes out clean: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin tins for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
