How do I get my muffins to come out like the ones they sell in the big supermarkets? Theirs are so moist and?

Question

big. Mine are always tougher.

Answer 1

cake flour rises higher and is more delicate than bread or all purpous flour. Don't beat the flour into the wet ingredients any more than necessary. I also agree that a touch more oil will moisten them up a bit, but I wouldn't add more egg and the sour cream or yogurt will give it a funny taste. Remember, they also probably use bigger muffin tins and overfill them.

Answer 2

Ah, easy.....the big chain supermarkets us a commercial mix, it's all done for them. Add water and bake. They sometimes underbake as there's no fresh egg to cook in them. They are also packaged promptly or in the wall units that have high humidity.

Answer 3

They're so moist and big and .... full of chemicals (that make them that way).

I bet yours are healthier by a long shot even if they're tougher.

Answer 4

Add an extra egg to the batter.

Answer 5

Add some sour cream, do use high quality ingredients. Don't overwork the batter and don't overbake.

Answer 6

do not overmix the batter - mix the wet and dry ingredients just til incorporated, a few small lumps are fine

Answer 7

SECRET TIP

Whatever oil you use, vegetable, canola, etc...use a pinch more.
Notice the amount of oil you have to use for brownies, 1/2C? It's because the oil gives it the gooey!

Answer 8

I don't know, but I'd really like to butter your muffin. You know what I mean.

Answer 9

try putting a spoonful of yoghurt in the mixture

Answer 10

Steal some of their muffin batter and pray you don't screw it up.
