Bake a Better Muffin: Spray muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray; fill tins two-thirds full with batter; add a few tablespoons water to the empty spaces to keep empty cups from burning. For easier removal, allow muffins to "rest" in tins a few moments after baking. To reheat muffins, wrap loosely in foil, then heat in a 450F oven about 5 minutes.

Notes: Makes 12 Servings. Use stick margarine, non-diet. *The zest of a lemon, a lime or an orange is the peel without any of the pith (white membrane). To remove zest, use a zester or the fine side of a vegetable grater.
