Tips and Tricks

Moisture Control

To get the perfect moisture level that suits your taste, start by adding the lower amount of hot water to the cereal. If the mixture seems too dry after it’s fully absorbed, gradually add more until you reach the desired consistency. This way, you can customize the muffins to be as moist or firm as you like.

Muffin Uniformity

For evenly sized muffins, use an ice cream scoop or a measuring cup to divide the batter among the muffin cups. This ensures that all your muffins will bake uniformly and finish cooking at the same time.

Checking Doneness

Instead of solely relying on time, check if your muffins are done by lightly pressing the top of a muffin. If it springs back, they’re ready to come out of the oven. This test helps prevent overbaking, keeping your muffins moist and fluffy.

Storage Tips

These muffins keep well in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Just wrap them individually in plastic wrap and thaw overnight on the counter or heat briefly in the microwave when ready to enjoy.
