Instructions:

- Mix everything together until all the ingredients are well incorporated. You can use your hands or a spoon to ensure an even mixture.

- Use a non-stick muffin tin or line the tin with paper muffin liners to prevent the muffins from sticking.
- Fill each muffin slot evenly to allow for uniform cooking.
