Top tips for perfectly fluffy muffins

If you’re new to making muffins, here are some expert tips to help you bake the fluffiest, tastiest muffins.

Firstly, it’s best to have your eggs, butter and milk at room temperature. Doing so helps to form a smooth mixture that traps air and expands in your muffin when heated in the oven. This expansion is what makes your muffins fluffy.

It’s also important to avoid overmixing the ingredients for your muffin. Use a light touch when combining the ingredients as the more you mix, the tougher the muffin. It’s always best to mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately, then pour the wet into the dry.

Lastly, you should also position your backing rack in the middle of the oven for even heat distribution. It’s also advisable to rotate the pan halfway through baking to counteract hot spots in your oven.
