Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center 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 to cool completely.

If desired, dust the cooled muffins with powdered sugar before serving.
