Baking Tips

- For better mixing and consistent texture – ingredients like eggs and milk should be at room temperature.
- To avoid tough muffins – do not overmix, mix the ingredients until they are just moistened and combined.
- To avoid ledges around the rims of your pans – grease muffin pans from the bottom up to halfway of the sides.
- For the best rise and texture – fill muffin pans 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Muffins are done when – tops are golden or when a toothpick inserted at the center of the muffin comes out clean.
- Enrich your muffins with – nuts, fruits, cereals, chocolates, etc.
- Always bake within – the day of preparing.
Storage Recommendations
