recipesbynani.comEvery home baker needs a reliable muffin recipe in their collection. This version creates beautiful, tall tops and a moist center that stays soft for days.
My best tip for success is to avoid overmixing the batter once you add the flour. Just stir until the dry streaks disappear, which keeps the muffins light instead of heavy.
