Instructions:

Begin this culinary adventure by gathering your ingredients and preheating your oven to 400°F.

The curtain falls, and the muffins emerge victorious. Let them cool in the pans for a brief 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to settle and intertwine. Then, with a triumphant spirit, remove them from the pans and prepare to serve these golden-brown wonders to eager taste buds.
