Muffin Tips and Tricks

What makes a muffin light and fluffy?

Avoid overmixing the batter. Stir just until the dry ingredients are combined to keep the muffins tender and soft.

Can I make muffins ahead of time?

Muffins are generally freezer friendly and will stay fresh for up to 3 months if in an airtight container.

How do I get bakery-style muffin tops?

By baking muffins at a higher temperature for the first 5 minths, then lowering the heat, this helps create a taller, domed top.

Why do my muffins turn out dry?

Overbaking is the most common cause of dry muffins. Check muffins early and remove them when a toothpick comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.

Can I customize classic muffin recipes?

Yes definitely. Adding nuts, dried fruit, and citrus zest to make each recipe your own while keeping the classic base intact will be delicious.
