Tips:

  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: Allowing the batter to rest for a few minutes before baking will help the muffins rise and be more tender.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
