Notes

Measure flour using the spoon and level method for best results.
Do not overmix batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing.
Muffins can be stored at room temperature for 2 days, refrigerated for 5-6 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
Reheat in the microwave, oven, or air fryer for best texture.
