Tips for Apricot Oat Muffins

Most muffin recipes are relatively straightforward, but a few key tricks can improve your results. First, it’s important to use room-temperature eggs and dairy products in order to prevent them from curdling as they react with other ingredients. Also, make sure that you don’t overmix your batter: The best muffins have distinct pockets of air throughout. Finally, do not underbake!
