TIP: Bake your muffins at the right temperature! Muffins are extremely delicate creatures. Baking them at too high of a temperature will cause them to dry out and become rubbery. Baking them at too low of a temperature will result in undercooked, gummy muffins. The ideal baking temperature for muffins is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
