Chocolate Fudge Muffin FAQs

Why are my muffins dry?

Dry muffins occur for two primary reasons. The muffins have been cooked for too long, or the batter was over-mixed. Over-mixing causes a thicker batter to dry up when baking, resulting in a more dense cake. Over-baked muffins will dry out due to all of the moisture being evaporated.

Can this recipe be doubled?

Yes! These chocolate fudge muffins are so delicious that you'll want to have extras on hand, so you don't run out so fast. So it's perfect that this recipe is so easy to double. Simply double the ingredients as written and use a 12-hole muffin pan or make two separate batches.       

Can I use self-rising flour for these chocolate muffins?

Yes. In this case, you can use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour. However,  if you're using self-rising flour, omit the baking powder from the original recipe.           

I don't have paper muffin liners. Can I still make these chocolate fudge muffins without them?

Of course! If you don't have any paper muffin liners on hand, don't worry! You can still make these delectable muffins. Simply line the muffin pans with your favorite non-stick spray and proceed with the recipe as written.          

Is there a way to tell when the muffins are done?

Yes. Inserting a wooden toothpick into the center of one of your muffins before removing them from the oven is the best method to tell when they're ready. If the wooden toothpick comes out gooey with no solid crumbs, then the muffins need to be left in the oven longer. If it comes out clean with only a few moist crumbs left behind, then you know that your muffins are ready to be taken out of the oven.
