  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Recipe Notes

** This baking time is for jumbo size muffins. If you are baking smaller muffins, the baking time will be shorter. Always bake until the toothpick comes out clean, even if it means the baking time is different than the recipe's.
