- 5
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, adding about ½ cup to each one.

Ago's Notes
- Adjust salt to taste based on your canned goods.
These muffins carry the quiet joy of a morning ritual—golden, fragrant, and just sweet enough to linger on the palate, inviting you to savor each bite as a small act of care. Let the warmth of the oven guide you, and remember, the best flavors are born from patience and respect.
