Like all baking recipes, you have to use room temperature ingredients. Make everything sit out for a few minutes before mixing.

When folding the dry ingredients, Just fold the flour in gently. Over mixing makes the muffins dense instead of soft and fluffy. Use an ice cream scoop to pour the perfect amount of batter. Which makes all muffins bake at the same time.

Some people mention me that their cupcakes stick to the cake liners, Just a light brush of oil in the liners helps the muffin not stick to the paper after baking.

Ingredients

All Purpose Flour / Maida - This is the main ingredient that gives structure to the muffins. It makes them soft and holds everything together.

Expert Tips

Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before baking, It helps to activate the baking soda fully and gives a better rise.
Store the muffins in an airtight box. Once cooled, keep them in a container to lock in moisture. They stay soft for 2-3 days.
Don't open the oven door too early. Opening it before 15 minutes can make the muffins sink in the middle.
