Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until muffin tops are golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 18–⏱️ 20 minutes. Let cool slightly in pan. Transfer muffins to a wire rack and eat while warm or let cool completely. Do ahead: Muffins can be made 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
