Notes

Oven temperatures will vary, so always check the muffins after 12 minutes and see what they need. They may be done or need a few more minutes. 
Use good quality ingredients when making muffins and check the freshness of each ingredient. 
Don't over-mix the muffin batter! It should have lumps in it.
