  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

  • Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack and let them cool for an additional 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For an added crunch, you can sprinkle some chopped nuts or pumpkin seeds on top of the muffins before baking. If you prefer a sweeter muffin, consider adding a streusel topping made from brown sugar, flour, and butter mixed together. Make sure not to overmix the batter to ensure your muffins are light and fluffy.
