Step 1 Preheat oven to 350F

Tips for Making Muffins
Muffins are delicious and easy-to-make baked good that can be enjoyed for breakfast, as a snack, or even as a dessert. Here are some tips for making perfect muffins:
- Use the right ingredients: When making muffins, it's important to use the correct ingredients to ensure that they turn out just right. Use all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, eggs, milk, and vegetable oil or melted butter for basic muffins. You can also add in other ingredients such as fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, or spices to give your muffins more flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the muffin batter can make the muffins tough and dense. Mix the dry ingredients together in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another bowl, then combine the two mixtures with a few quick stirs. It's okay if there are still some lumps in the batter.
- Use muffin liners or grease the muffin tin: To prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan, use muffin liners or grease the muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
- Don't overfill the muffin cups: Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter. If you fill them too full, the muffins will overflow and become misshapen.
Recipe FAQS
How do I store leftovers?
Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic, whatever! Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container.
How do I calculate Nutrition and WW points?
WW points are calculated using the recipe builder and not the nutrition info calculator. The nutrition calculator doesn’t calculate 0 point foods correctly.
