Notes
For a twist, add chopped nuts or dried fruits into the batter. Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy. Check for doneness a couple of minutes early; ovens can vary in temperature. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for a week. These muffins can be reheated in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up.
