Notes

Do not overmix to keep muffins tender and light., Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full to avoid overflow and help muffins hold shape., Optional: sprinkle cinnamon sugar or add crumble topping made from butter, sugar, flour, and cinnamon before baking for extra flavor., Line muffin tins with paper liners or grease well to prevent sticking.
