You’ll start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees, and line a muffin pan with muffin papers. This recipe will make 10 standard sized muffins.
You will want to sift your flour so that they are no lumps. If you don’t have a sifter, a fine metal sieve works just fine.
Simply place your sieve over the mixing bowl, and put your dry ingredients in it, then stir with a spoon. Honestly, even though I have an actual sifter, I find this to be my go-to method. It’s quick and the sieve is easier to clean.
Once the batter is ready, you will scoop it into the muffin pan. I always use a muffin scoop, since it is the easiest way to get the batter evenly distributed.
The cups should be about 2/3 full.
Your muffins will bake for 18-20 minutes or until they spring back when you gently press in the center. Immediately transfer the muffins to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Can these Muffins be Frozen?
Yes! Check out my Orange Muffin post where I shared the best method to store and freeze muffins.
