Tips & Tricks
To equally distribute the batter among the muffin holes for same-sized cupcakes, use an ice cream scoop.
Do not overbake these cupcakes! Otherwise, they’ll end up dry and crumbly.
These can last you a couple of days stored in the fridge and for months if frozen in air-tight containers.
