Cooling:
Remove the pan from the oven and place on top of a cooling rack. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then remove from the pan and place on a cooling rack to cool down completely
These muffins taste even better the next day as the flavors have developed. They feel a bit dry on the same day they are baked but very moist the next day
