Directions
1. | Mix dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. | |
2. | In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients. | |
3. | Using an electric mixer, slowly incorporate wet ingredients into dry. Beat for 1-2 minutes. | |
4. | Preheat oven to 375 degrees; grease muffin tins. | |
5. | Using an ice cream scoop, fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Let sit until oven is preheated. | |
6. | Bake 375 degrees for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into center of muffin. | |
7. | Let muffins sit and cool for at least a few hours. For some reason these muffins are a little chewy within the first few hours after baking. After 6-8 hours, the muffins have a "normal" muffin texture. |
