              Notes

              • Muffins bake quickly. To test that they are ready, insert a toothpick into the center of one muffin, and if it comes out clean with no wet batter, they are ready.
              • Let them cool on a cooling rack before storing.
              • Don't open the oven door to keep muffins fluffy.
