TIPS AND TRICKS FOR MAKING PERFECT EGG MUFFINS

If in doubt, use parchment paper or cupcake liners to prevent sticking. The muffins puff up while they cook in the oven. Fill them 3/4 of the way up to prevent overflow. Let your muffins cool for about 10 minutes before attempting to remove them.

Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda into a pitcher of hot water, stirring until the baking soda is dissolved. Pour the mixture into the cups of the muffin pan, filling each about three-quarters of the way. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. Wait until the muffin pan is cool enough to touch but still warm.

Most muffin recipes contain oil. The amount of oil in your recipe will affect how much they stick to the liner. Removing the liners while the muffins are still warm helps. You could spray your liners with non-stock spray.
