Muffin Making Tips & Variations
Use room-temperature ingredients and avoid over-mixing the batter for light, tender muffins.
Line your muffin pan with cupcake liners for easy cleanup and let muffins cool in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
Always check that your baking ingredients are fresh—quality and freshness make a big difference in flavor and texture.
Try variations like using a gluten-free flour blend, swapping in whole wheat flour, or using coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.
Frequently Asked Questions
The most important step to making moist muffins is not to over-mix the batter. Be sure to mix just until the ingredients are combined and then let the oven do the rest of the work.
Avoid over-mixing the batter, as this will make your muffins tough. Also, be careful not to open and close the oven door too often, as this can cause the muffins to sink.
This depends on the recipe. We use oil and butter in some of the recipes. The oil keeps the muffins tender and moist, while the butter adds flavor depth and also moistness. Melted butter is a great way to add flavor and keep the muffins super moist.
We do not do this for our recipes, however, you can definitely do this. The muffin batter can sometimes benefit from a rest before baking, allowing the ingredients to fully absorb and combine. This could result in a better texture and flavor.
