Tips:

  • Choose the right bell peppers: For the best flavor, use ripe, firm bell peppers with vibrant colors. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your muffins the best flavor. If possible, use organic or locally grown ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: Fill each muffin cup evenly with batter. This will help the muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake the muffins at the right temperature: Bake the muffins at the temperature specified in the recipe. Baking them at too high or too low a temperature will result in undercooked or overcooked muffins.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them hold their shape.
