Total time: 18 min • Prep: 8 min • Cook: 10 min • Serves: 36 • Difficulty: Easy
For added convenience, you can make the batter well ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, then bake as many mini muffins as you want at one time. This batter makes enough for 72 mini muffins, so you'll have plenty on hand to work with. To bake regular-sized muffins, spray standard muffin tins with nonstick spray. Spoon the batter into the cups, filling each about two-thirds full, and bake in a preheated 400°F oven until a toothpick inserted into one muffin comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, which should take about 18 minutes.
