# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You can grab two on your way out the door and actually feel good about what you are eating
- They reheat beautifully so Sunday baking means breakfast is sorted until Wednesday
02 -
- Overfilling the muffin cups leads to spillover and stuck on mess that you will regret later
- Letting them cool completely before storing prevents condensation from making them soggy
03 -
- Use a measuring cup or cookie scoop for evenly sized muffins that cook at the same rate
- Spinach holds a lot of water so squeeze out excess moisture after wilting for best texture
