Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter or substitute walnuts for pecans if you prefer. Ensure the muffins are completely cool before storing them in an airtight container to maintain freshness. If you want a richer flavor, consider replacing some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
