Essential kitchen items needed for this recipe
- Mixing bowls: You'll need bowls for mixing the muffin batter and the icing topping. Having a few different sizes helps separate dry and wet ingredients.
- Texas muffin pan: You'll need a Texas muffin pan with six holes, each with a 3/4 cup capacity. Make sure to line the pan with muffin cases to prevent sticking.
- Piping bag with nozzle: A piping bag fitted with a 1cm round nozzle is easy to use for neatly applying the icing onto the muffins.
