Hello,
I made this recipe recently and baked them for only 17 minutes. They were overdone and dry as a result. The oven was recently calibrated. 400 degrees is way to hot to bake muffins for 20 minutes.
Any comments?
Thanks.
You’re right, Ralph. 400 is too hot for muffins! They should be baked at 350. Thanks for bringing this error to our attention. We’ve modified the recipe based on your feedback. Sorry you were disappointed and hope you’ll give them another try!
