Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 6-cup muffin tin generously to prevent sticking.

3. Step 3: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
4. Step 4: Bake for 20-25 minutes until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Step 5: Allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
