TIPS FOR EASY VANILLA MUFFINS
Place the oven rack in the middle. This allows the hot air to circulate evenly around the batter, resulting in even cooking.
When the muffins are done, do not open the oven door all the way. Leave the door slightly open and wait 5 to 10 minutes so that the heat enters the kitchen and there is no temperature shock that causes the muffins to collapse (the time depends on the season of the year, if it is summer leave it for about 5 minutes, if it is winter 10 minutes).
