Ok... I'm looking for help!
![]() My muffins keep caving in the middle after I bring them out of the oven. It's like deflating tires, but faster. LoL. It only takes them 5 seconds to deflate. I'm thinking they need more flour, but not sure if I should raise it to 1 1/4 cups, 1 1/2 cups, or 2 cups. If anyone has any tips, secrets, suggestions please let me know. I want to perfecto my muffins. ![]() These are the ingredients: Pumpkin Spices Oil Flour Salt Applesauce Honey an egg Oats Vanilla Extract Baking Powder Baking Soda Bake at 375 for 15 to 20 minutes. My second try I left the oats out and did a full can of pumpkin instead of 3/4ths. I also tried half a cup of white flour/half a cup of wheat pastry flour. I was doing 1 cup of wheat pastry flour before. I also increased the honey to 1 cup instead of 1/2 a cup. Thoughts? |

Im thinking that the more "wet" ingredients, IE honey and pumpkin you put in, and the more dry ingredients you leave out... is going to have the cave in results.
Your flour is what makes the muffins rise... you get too much wet stuff and not enough flour, you're going to have wet and deflated muffins. Try going with the original recipe, but adding flour a hlaf cup at a time, until you get those suckers to stay fully inflated lol. Then again, I could be wrong, BUT I make muffins from scratch and mine always turn out.

Hi, haven't read all the way through the thread, but if anyone would like a recipe for a diabetic fruit cake, let me know. My mum makes it for dad and it's yummy.

Nice thread. Your batter seems a little heavy. Have you tried grinding up the oats? I would suggest whipped egg whites for air and rise. Also as Morningstar suggested check dates on the soda and powder. Pumpkin can be tricky. Maybe a bread or tea cake format would be more satisfying than a muffin. But try the egg whites ans let me know if that helps.

Ok... I have tried making bread in the past, and have failed ... miserably lol SO... I am going to try ONCE more! Ive been baking most of my life. I baked my first pie, totally from scratch, crust included... when I was 7 or 8 years old. I baked my first cake from scratch when I was 10 years old. The pie was easier lol Now people love my apple pies, my whoopi pies and of course, my cookies (cookies are strictly a Christmas treat and I make 17 different kinds, about 85 dozen in all) and the one fruit bread that I can never seem to ever make enough of, is my banana nut bread. I actually stumbled onto a recipe, that with a few tweaks, is the best I've ever made or eaten. However, I just could never seem to get the hang of baking yeast risen bread. I think I know, now, what I was doing wrong. I was not allowing the yeast and water to rest for a bit before throwing in the flour. So.... the dough is a-rising. However, instead of making two loaves of bread, I will make one loaf and then make the other half of the dough into cinnamon rolls. So, we shall see what we shall see. If nothing else, it's been fun. I'll let you all know how it turns out!

Well THAT was a collosal failure! LOL
The dough did not raise very well... although it WAS disturbed.. growling... but still.. this is exactly what happened before. I do not have the "light" bread touch, apparently lol

OK, it wasn't AS bad as I thought, but it could have been MUCH MUCH MUCH better. The bread was so heavy if I dropped the loaf on my foot I would have broken toes. On the other hand, the cinnamon rolls turned out pretty good. (Saying that with the full knowledge that when you throw cinnamon, sugar and brown sugar on ANYTHING, it tastes better!) lol
I WILL NOT GIVE UP!! When cooler weather gets here, I plan on purchasing 25 lbs of flour, 20 envelopes of dry active yeast and I will NOT leave that kitchen (metaphorically speaking) until I have perfected the art of making light bread, darn it!!! Yeah!

![]() i have avoided this thread, probably for obvious reasons lol... Sugar addiction - and lots of inner struggles..But i find myself so much more comfortable around baked goods these days. And it feels like a blessing, truly... i would love to get myself to the point that i could bake again, because i do soo love to cook & bake. i could bake, make it all pretty and colorful, and then gift it to those who enjoy baked goods.. i can handle the smell of baked cookies and pies again, those two were the hardest for me... i used to bake my own homemade bread, bagels and biscuits all the time for my family. And i had the best pizza dough recipe in town. And cupcakes, how cute are the decorated cupcakes these days? i want to concoct some yummy blended flavors and top them with pretty icing! i love, love, love decorating..And i love, love, love gifting! (since We're not sweet eaters at all!)

My niece, mother of two (it's still hard to grasp that concept lol) makes cupcakes and a large cake for her two little one's birthdays.
This year, for her son's 1st birthday, she made cupcakes and a larger cake with a bug theme. She had beetles and bee's and grasshoppers... all made out of candy and or icing. The girl even had pretzle sticks with little green icing inch worms on them! I was IMPRESSED! I'd never have the patience... lol

When my daughter was little I always made a "first day of school" cake. It was fun to celebrate the new school year. Also when I was little my mom took weekly cake decorating lessons. Every week we kids would enjoy her "lesson". My fav was the Barbie cake, which my two brothers balked at but ate anyway!
