Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Accompanying these muffins with tapenade—a Mediterranean olive spread—instead of butter makes these muffins even more of a treat!
  • tip 2
    Stirring muffin batter gently—just until dry ingredients are moistened—results in perfectly shaped muffins.
