Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use room temperature ingredients, especially the eggs and milk, for best results.
• Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in dense muffins. Stir until just combined.
• Feel free to add mix-ins like nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
• To make the muffins extra moist, brush the tops with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
• These muffins can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Just thaw them at room temperature before serving.

Storage and Serving

• Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature, either plain or with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey.
• These muffins are perfect for breakfast or brunch, and also make a great on-the-go snack.
