What can I add to these muffins for extra flavor?
You can add a variety of mix-ins such as chocolate chips, dried fruits, or spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor. For a seasonal twist, consider adding pumpkin puree or grated zucchini for moisture and nutrition.
How can I tell when the muffins are done baking?
The muffins are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking, as oven temperatures can vary.
