My muffins barely rose! I can't figure out what happened. I'm a professional baker, made these exactly according to the recipe except that I left out the cinnamon chips (didn't have any), opened a fresh can of baking powder so it couldn't have been that. My oven temperature was correct. In spite of not rising, they were edible but barely. Any suggestions as to what might have happened.
Oh, Sue - what a shame! I made these Friday and they rose beautifully. Was the batter fairly thick - like, it mounded in the muffin well, rather than being liquid and flat-topped? Did you include both baking soda and baking powder? (Sometimes you see one, and your eyes skip past the other.) That ould actually be my best guess, that you mistakenly left out the soda... PJH
