FAQs
Why are my savoury muffins dry?
Overmixing the batter can cause dry muffins by developing too much gluten, leading to a dense and crumbly texture.
Why are my savoury muffins still wet in the middle?
Undercooking usually results in muffins with a wet center as the heat hasn’t fully set the batter in the middle.
Why are my savoury muffins dense?
Too much leavening can make muffins dense by causing them to rise too quickly and then collapse, creating a heavy texture.
