Hey GF, thanks for doing the research and passing it along. It is always interesting to find out what could happen when we change a recipe. I have had blunders as well as great successes. Great post!


I skimp on the fat in a lot of muffins that I make, leaving out the oil and replacing it w/ n-sugar-added applesauce - then I just use some flour spray (like Pam for baking) and I don't use paper liners. Hope that helps!

You know i was just looking at these hints last night they had one for for cakes ;muffins ;cookies quick breads and breads;etc...great post


This has happened to m so Thank you for this info.


Excellent info to have! Jett


I use the foil cupcake liners instead of paper--the additional cost is minimal and muffins just slide right out of them. Good for making individual meatloaf servings too. Great idea for a post!


Thanks for the interesting information on muffins. I use to make some batches a week and sometimes, when trying new recipes, they don“t come out the correct way. This will be very handy. Thanks again.


Thanks for the pointers.


Very useful, thanks!


Thanks for sharing info- nice for folks to know


Thanks for thinking of us....:)


Great post... a five in my book !!


Good info


Great info. I love finding out the whys and how-tos almost as much as the actual cooking. Which is why Alton Brown is my favorite on the food network!


Very good to know. Thanks for sharing chichi!


Thanks for the information! As long as I've been cooking, I've just learned so much from recipe sites in the last few years! Sometimes I don't try a lot of recipes because of my picky eaters, even ones I'd like, but I learn so much, and that's great that we can share tips and information.


Great post! I also have the Betty Crocker Best of Baking cookbook and I love it. There's a lot of great tips and suggestions in it, not to mention a lot of great recipes (I posted the recipe for Cinnamon Biscuit Fans on my page). My solution has always been to make muffins with the fat it says in the recipe, but then I just don't make them very often to compensate - tee hee! Thanks for sharing!
