Notes
¹Do not overmix! Overmixing your batter will result in a dense crumb that will prevent you from achieving that beautiful-looking muffin top.
²Another way to test if the muffins are done is to insert a thermometer and check the internal temperature. The standard for breads and quick breads is about 200°F. Another way to check is by inserting a toothpick or fork. If it comes out clean, then they are ready.
