# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You can prep twelve muffins in under forty minutes and avoid morning cooking decisions entirely
  • Every muffin is a complete protein package that keeps you full until lunch without the heavy breakfast crash
02 -
  • Overfilling the cups makes them stick to the top of the tin and tear apart when you try to remove them
  • Letting them cool completely before storing prevents condensation from making them soggy overnight
03 -
  • Silicone liners changed my game, no more stuck edges or scrubbing baked on egg residue
  • Whisking the eggs until they are actually frothy, not just mixed, makes the texture noticeably lighter
