Baking
  1. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  2. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serving
  1. Let the bites cool for a few minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm on their own or with toppings of your choice!
