Baking Tips for Perfect Muffins
These small adjustments make a big difference:
✔ Don’t overmix the batter
Overmixing leads to dense muffins instead of soft, bakery-style texture.
✔ Use quality fruit
Fresh apricots from Family Tree Farms give a natural sweetness and improve overall flavor.
✔ Toss fruit in flour
This helps distribute fruit evenly throughout the muffins.
✔ Chill your streusel (optional)
Cold butter in the streusel creates a crispier, more bakery-like topping.
✔ Add extra streusel if desired
If you love texture, don’t be shy — more crumb topping = more crunch.
