Muffin Fail
How ironic of me to be making a detox juice drink in the morning but still planning to bake chocolate chip muffins in the afternoon. Healthy vs. unhealthy - my constant battle everyday. Apparently, unhealthy always wins. Hahaha. And so I baked these muffins. Sadly, they were a fail.
I got this recipe from Joy of Baking, and followed the exact ingredients and procedure. I don't know why they didn't rise but I suspect that our old-fashioned vintage oven does not heat up to the temperature set even I already preheated it. Perhaps I need to buy an oven thermometer.
Other than our oven, I don't know any more reason as to why they didn't rise. If you check out the recipe, they're supposed to look puffy and droopy. :(
Nonetheless, they tasted really good!! One muffin does make you full. Now I know why they are intended for meals, not snacks. They are quite thick and heavy.
Will definitely make more experiments on muffins. This was my first time anyway. Hopefully I can bake them perfect the next time!
