Tips for baking the perfect muffins every time

Here are some essential bakingtips to get muffins with the perfect texture and delicious aroma, every time:

• Ingredients’ temperature: Make sure all your ingredients, such as eggs and milk, are at room temperature before you begin. This helps with better incorporation and gives the muffin a more even texture.
• Mixing dry and wet ingredients: When combining dry and wet ingredients, do it carefully. Add the wet ingredients over the dry and mix just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in hard or gummy muffins.
• Quality ingredients: Uses quality ingredients. For example, a good quality cocoa or top quality chocolate will make a big difference in the final taste of the muffin.

• Correct measurement: Make sure you measure the ingredients accurately. Using a kitchen scale for dry ingredients can help achieve a consistent consistency and taste.
• Oven temperature: Preheat the oven to the temperature indicated in the recipe. A correct oven temperature is crucial to obtain or uniform growth of the muffin.
• Positioning the muffin tin in the oven: Place the muffin tin in the center of the oven to ensure even baking. Avoid opening the oven door frequently, as this can lower the temperature and affect baking.

• Toothpick Test: To check if the muffins are ready, stick a toothpick in the center of one. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached, the muffins are ready. If the toothpick is wet, leave it for a few more minutes.
• Cooling the muffins: Once the muffins are ready, take them out of the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack. This prevents continuous “cooking” and helps maintain the fluffy texture.
• Flavoring: Do not hesitate to experiment with different flavors, such as natural essences, grated citrus peel or spices, to add extra taste to your muffins.
• Storage: If you do not serve them immediately, store the muffins in an airtight container to preserve moisture and freshness.
