Notes

Don't overmix the batter; lumps are actually good for fluffy muffins. Use freshly grated mozzarella for the best melt. Consider adding other ingredients like olives or cooked sausage to personalize your muffins. For longer storage, these muffins freeze well; wrap them individually and keep them in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Serve with marinara for dipping or offer them alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
