Why is my banana muffin hard?

If you left them at the initial high temperature for the whole baking time you will end up with a hard crust and raw center. My Banana Muffins use the two temperature approach and are filled right to the top.

Are muffins better with oil or butter?

Melted butter, on the other hand, naturally solidifies when the muffins cool. As a result they have a slightly denser texture than muffins made with oil. And of course the buttery flavour is more dominant than oil, which is desirable for some flavours (e.g. Butter Pecan) but not all.

Should muffin batter be thick or thin?

Depending on what ingredients you're using, the batter will range from runny (like thin cake batter) to very thick (like drop-cookie dough). As a general rule, the thinner the batter, the lighter the muffins will be when baked. But don't be afraid to bake thick, gloppy batter.

Why are my banana muffins wet inside?

Using too many bananas It may be difficult, but you must fight the urge to use more bananas than your recipe requires. Using too many bananas can make your bread heavy and damp in the center, causing it to appear undercooked and unappealing.

How to stop muffins from being dry?

Don't overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in tough and dry muffins. Mix the batter until the dry ingredients are just incorporated. Use the right temperature: Preheat your oven to the correct temperature and bake the muffins in the center of the oven.

What to add to muffin mix to make it moist?

Recently I discovered that if I use sour cream in place of milk in a muffin recipe, I get a super moist, fluffy muffin! The switch is very easy. If a recipe calls for 3/4 cup of milk, I simply use 3/4 cup of sour cream instead. Occasionally, I need to add a bit more sour cream to moisten the muffin batter.

How do you moisten muffins?

First, prick the muffin tops all over with a toothpick. Next, pour your liquid of choice (e.g., milk or fruit juice) into a bowl, dip a pastry brush into it, and brush the tops of the muffins. The liquid will seep into the muffin's interior, soaking the crumb and softening the muffins, turning them as good as new.

How to get domed muffins?

According to O. Corriher, the way to get a perfectly puffed up dome on your muffins is to increase your oven heat. She says that 400° should do it, no matter what the recipe says. The higher baking temperature means that the the outside edges of the muffin will set while the middle is still liquidy.

Why are Bakery muffins so much better?

The best bakery-style crumb muffins start with cake flour Cake flour is more finely ground and has less protein, which leaves the muffins with a fine, light crumb and soft texture. Using cake flour is an easy way to avoid heavy, dense muffins even if you end up stirring just a bit too much.

What could I replace the peanut butter with in these Muffins?

I love peanut butter, but I have recently grown a love of almond butter. If you have never tried it, you need to give it a chance.

At first, I hated it plain, but as I put it in recipes, I started to love it.

If you have a peanut allergy, or you don’t like peanut butter, really any nut butter would work for this recipe. You will love it.

My child can't take peanut butter to school so I'm wondering what you would recommend to replace it.
Judy Neb says:

My grand daughter has Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac. I made these for a special treat for her tonight. WOW. They are amazing. Thanks so much for the recipe. I will be making these again and again.
Jane says:

My kids devoured them! They were kinda fudgy, is there a way to make it more cake like I wonder? I'll be making another batch with my ripe bananas.
Sophia says:

I had to really old bananas hanging around and was happy to find this recipe. Easy to make with typical ingredients I already have on hand. I decided to omit the chocolate chips on top and these muffins were still very rich chocolate in flavor, but not too overly sweet.
Kimberly says:

I found this exact recipe on pinterest a couple years ago because I cook for someone who is gluten-free so I'm always looking for new recipes. She loves this one so I make it often.
Kathy says:

Would applesauce work instead of bananas? I am allergic to bananas and everybody uses them in everything, but applesauce doesn't always substitute well. Glad to hear that you can use nut butters that I am not sensitive to and they still work.
Cyd says:

We have not yet tried applesauce in this recipe.
Kristina says:

Hi! What's the serving size/calorie count in these? BTW made them and they are delicious!
