A silver whisk with a black rubber handle is in the bowl with the handle leaning against the side of the bowl pointing to the bottom right corner.
  4. Line a 24 cup mini muffin tin with parchment paper liners or spray the pan with cooking spray. Use a cookie scoop to fill the muffin cups almost to the tops. The muffins don’t expand too much, so filling them right below the top of the liner is perfect.
