Notes
- The number of muffins yielded from this recipe depends on the size of the muffin tin. Of course, the bigger they are the longer the cooking time.
- You can check whether a muffin is cooked through by inserting a toothpick in the centre of the muffin. The toothpick should come out clean with only a couple of crumbs clinging to the sides. If the toothpick has batter sticking to it, the muffins are not done. Return muffins to the oven and allow to cook for a couple more minutes.
