- For a tender muffin: Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the muffins tough.
- For a golden brown muffin top: Brush the tops of the muffins with melted butter before baking. This will help them brown nicely in the oven.
- For a lemony muffin: Use fresh lemon zest in the batter. Lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the muffins.
