My friend Yeonhee makes baking look so easy. She’ll waltz into the kitchen, measure out the ingredients into a giant bowl, and, twenty minutes later, there’ll be a batch of warm muffins sitting on the counter. These are absolutely delicious! They’re fluffy and wheaty, with a nice pumpkin flavor. As someone who’s not apt at baking, I was amazed. It’s a guaranteed way to look like a domestic diva, with very little baking experience.
