Tips:

  • Muffins are best when they stay moist. To achieve this, make sure not to overmix the batter, as this can lead to dry muffins. It's best to mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined.
  • If you want your muffins to have a crispy top, sprinkle some sugar on them before baking. This will create a nice caramelized crust.
  • Muffins can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. When storing in the freezer, place the muffins in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
  • Feel free to experiment with different ingredients to create your own unique muffin recipes. You can add fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, or even vegetables to the batter.
  • Muffins are a great way to use up leftover ingredients. If you have some bananas or apples that are about to go bad, you can add them to your muffin batter.
