Notes

Don’t Overmix: Stir the batter just until combined for light and fluffy muffins.

Scoop for Even Muffins: Use an ice cream scoop to evenly portion batter for muffins that bake evenly.

Cool Before Frosting: Let the muffins cool completely before frosting, so it doesn’t melt off.

Add Spice to Frosting: Mix in a pinch of cinnamon or pumpkin spice for extra fall flavor!
