Tips & Tricks To Get A Bakery-Like Muffin Top

Allow the muffin batter to rest for upto an hour before baking. This ensured better hydration of the flour and thickening of the starches, which results in a taller, bakery-like muffin.

Preheat the oven to 220 °C and bake the batter for 5-7 minutes. This immediately activates the leavening agents, which creates a quick rise. The intense heat is also helpful in setting the crust to form a tall dome. Once done, reduce the temperature to 180°C and bake for 10-15 minutes.

While filling the muffin liners, fill them nearly to the brim. This also ensures a large top.

Storage Tips For Muffins

Storing them in airtight containers is non-negotiable. To do that, simply line the container with paper towels. Arrange the muffins in a single layer, and cover them with another layer of paper towel on top to trap moisture.

While freezing the covered muffins is ideal for long-term storage, refrigeration is not. It often dries them out. However, if wrapped properly, they can be placed in a fridge for 5-7 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do muffins turn hard?

Chocolate muffins often turn hard owing to overmixing, overbaking, or improper storage. While overmixing creates excess gluten, overbaking at high temperature causes the moisture to evaporate.

Can muffins be made without eggs?

Yes, muffins can easily be made without eggs. Simply use substitutes like yogurt, buttermilk, mashed bananas, or applesauce.

How long do muffins stay fresh?

If stored properly in an airtight container, homemade muffins generally last 3-4 days at room temperature, up to a week in the fridge, and up to 3 months in the freezer.
