Spoon the batter into the muffin tin and bake for 20-30 minutes. Mine took 25 minutes in my oven, but start checking yours at 20 minutes and check for doneness with a toothpick.

Remove from oven, let cool in pan, and enjoy! My favorite way to eat these is slightly warm with a little bit of melted butter :)
