Tips :

• 
  Use Room Temperature Ingredients: I’ve noticed that using eggs and butter at room temperature makes the batter smoother and helps the cupcakes rise evenly. When I used cold ingredients, the texture turned out dense. So now, I always make sure everything is at room temp before starting!
• 
  Don’t Overmix the Batter: The first time I made them, I mixed the batter too much, and they ended up more like bread than muffins. Now, I fold the dry ingredients in gently and stop as soon as everything is just combined. It keeps the muffins fluffy.
