Recipe Tips
Tip #1
If cups are getting too brown, cover loosely with foil the last 5 minutes of baking.
Tip #2
If using convection oven, do not go higher than 1/2 fan.
Tip #3
Overbaking will cause cups to stick to pan and make removal more difficult.
Tip #4
Adjust nutrition if serving more or fewer cups per portion. Each individual cup is 0.75 MMA, 1/4 oz. eq grain and 1/16 cup vegetable.
