Instructions
- Drop spoonfuls of batter into a muffin pan.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, you can substitute half of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. If you don't have self-rising flour, combine all-purpose flour with 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Consider adding mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor. These muffins can also be made sweet by incorporating sugar or honey into the batter.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these quick muffins warm, perhaps with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey on top. They pair wonderfully with a side of fresh fruit or a cup of coffee for breakfast. For a delightful dessert, try serving them with a scoop of Creamy Vanilla Pudding for a sweet treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until warmed through.
