Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with baking liners.

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of freshness and color before serving.
