Recipe Note

Tips for Muffin Perfection:

1. Don’t Overmix Mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the muffins light and fluffy.

2. Room Temperature Ingredients:** This ensures even mixing and better texture.

3. Generously Fill the Muffin Tin:** To achieve that bakery-style muffin top.
