Whisk in Farmhouse Eggs® Large Brown Eggs (2) one at a time until incorporated and light in texture. Then, stir in Vanilla Extract (2 tsp) .

Author's Notes

Muffins baked with paper liners need to cool completely before trying to peel off the paper. This is to prevent them from sticking to the paper.
