Faq

  • Why did my muffins turn out dense?

    Be sure not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can cause the muffins to be dense rather than fluffy.

  • Can I use this recipe for mini muffins?

    Absolutely! Just reduce the baking time by a few minutes and keep an eye on them as they bake.

  • What’s the best way to store muffins?

    Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.

  • How can I make my muffins more moist?

    Adding a bit more kefir or a tablespoon of applesauce can help make your muffins extra moist.

  • Can I add fruits or nuts to this recipe?

    Definitely! Fold in blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts right before baking for added flavor and texture.

  • Is there a substitute for sugar?

    You can use maple syrup or honey, though you may need to adjust the liquids a bit to get the right consistency.
