Notes
*This recipe was written using an average of the dip and sweep method for measuring flour and the spoon and level method. If you are using a scale, you will need to add 3/4 oz or 22 g to the measurement for each cup of flour.
- Do NOT over-mix the batter.
- Be sure to set a timer when you’re steeping the tea. You don’t want to over-brew it!
- If you don’t have cupcake papers, you can grease the muffin pan.
- Be careful to not add TOO much streusel to the tops of these muffins.
- A cake tester or toothpick is a great way to check if these muffins are baked!
