Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour, but it may result in denser muffins. For best results, consider using a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour to maintain a light texture while adding some nutritional benefits.
What can I add to the muffins for extra flavor?
You can add chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts to the batter for added flavor and texture. Spices like cinnamon or nutmeg also work well. Just fold them in gently to avoid overmixing the batter.
How do I know when the muffins are done baking?
Muffins are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Keep an eye on them after the 15-minute mark to prevent overbaking.
