Use a silicon muffin pan, placed on a sheet pan, (if using tin muffin pan, brush melted butter generously inside each cup). (You can also use nonstick spray or liners to prevent them from sticking. If using liners, spray them as well.)

Bake for 20-25 minutes on the MIDDLE rack. *Bake time may vary depending upon your oven and the size of your muffin cups! Try to keep from opening and closing the oven since this will drop the temperature. Make sure he middle isn’t jiggly.
