Tips to make Easy Garlic Rosemary Focaccia Muffins
- Measure your flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off with a knife.
- For a stronger garlic flavor, you can sauté the minced garlic in a bit of olive oil before adding it to the batter.
- Feel free to experiment with other herbs, such as thyme or oregano, for a different flavor profile.

FAQs
1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour, but the muffins may be denser. You may want to mix half all-purpose flour and half whole wheat for a lighter texture.
2. Is it necessary to use honey?
No, honey is optional in this recipe. It adds a touch of sweetness, but you can leave it out if you prefer.
3. How can I tell when the muffins are done baking?
The muffins are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If they need more time, bake them for a few additional minutes and check again.
