Tasty Muffins

just follow our tips and you will be on your way.

Five Tips for Perfect Muffins:

1.  Leave a few lumps. Over stirring can toughen a muffin.
2.  Spray the liners with cooking spray before adding batter.  
3.  Check for doneness early (about 5 minutes before specified time) since ovens can vary.
4.  Cool in the pan 5 minutes, then eat warm or remove to a rack so muffins don't get soggy.
5.  Store correctly so muffins stay fresh. Keep in an airtight container for a day or two. Or wrap  individually in plastic wrap, place all in a zip-top bag, and freeze up to one month. Thaw at room temperature or in microwave for 10 to 30 seconds.
