# Expert Advice:
01 -

- My toddler calls them breakfast cookies and yours probably will too
02 -
- Overmixing the batter makes tough, rubbery cups so stop as soon as the flour disappears
- Letting them cool completely before storing prevents that sad soggy bottom situation
03 -
- Use an ice cream scoop to fill the muffin cups evenly and cleanly
- Rotate the pan halfway through baking if your oven has hot spots
