Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter, which can lead to tough muffins. Spoon the batter into prepared muffin cups or a greased muffin tin. Bake according to the package directions until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving.
