Tips for the Perfect Muffins:

• To prevent the mix from being overworked, first mix the wet ingredients together in one bowl and mix the dry ingredients in another. 
• The most important rule of muffin making is to not over stir the mix. Resist the temptation to stir or beat the batter until it is smooth and lump free. 
• Do not overbake!
