  • For a more savory muffin, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the batter and top with grated Parmesan cheese before baking.
  • For a more moist muffin, use buttermilk instead of regular milk.
  • For a muffin with a crispy crust, brush the tops with melted butter before baking.
  • For a muffin with a tender crumb, let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking.
  • To make sure the muffins are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
