Brenda’s Tips:
Serving size: Makes two dozen standard muffins. Brenda prefers using paper cupcake liners that are 2 1/4" x 1 7/8" (Note: first number is diameter of base of cup, second is the height of the cup's side.) Using the larger liners in a standard muffin tin, the recipe makes one dozen muffins.
