Pro Tip
Achieving a moist texture is crucial. For this reason, do not overmix the muffin batter. Over-mixing leads to gluten formation, and in turn, muffin texture turns tough, crunchy, and dense. Also, do not reduce the quantity of sugar. Sugar is important to hold moisture in the muffin.
To achieve a bakery-style tall muffin top, fill the muffin cup liners to ¾ of the cup.
