Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter or the muffins may become dense.
  • For extra baklava flavor, add a pinch of ground cardamom.
  • Warm the honey slightly before brushing for easier spreading.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • These muffins freeze well for up to 2 months.
