Tips:
- Use fresh hot peppers for a more intense flavor. If you can't find fresh peppers, you can use dried peppers, but be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Wear gloves when handling hot peppers. The capsaicin in the peppers can irritate your skin.
- Be careful not to overcook the muffins. Overcooked muffins will be dry and tough.
- Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. If you frost the muffins while they are still warm, the frosting will melt.
- Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the muffins for up to 2 months.
