How can I ensure my muffins are moist? Butter Muffins tent to come out dry. I hate driy muffins.
Hi Letty!
Thanks for reaching out. Because this recipe includes canned pumpkin, it has the tendency to come out extra moist! Happy baking!
Could I use buttermilk instead of whole milk?
Hey Alyssa,
Buttermilk should work fine with the baking soda called for, just keep in mind it might have a tangier flavor and that the batter needs to immediately go into the oven, because the acidic buttermilk activates the baking soda before it even gets baking. Happy baking!
Hello, could I use almond flour instead?
Hi Elizabeth!
You will likely get something that is a bit too dense with pure almond flour. Bob’s Red Mill makes an excellent 1 to 1 Baking Flour replacement that is gluten free and yields great results.
was I supposed to make the pecan streusel ahead of time? It seemed that all of my streusel melted into the batter except for a few large chunks. I know it said freeze until needed but I made it and used it right away.
Hi Karli!
Thanks for reaching out! Yes, you want to have the streusel prepared before you make the muffin batter. This allows for the streusel to set up and maintain shape before baking. It is also possible that your batter was a little wet. We recommend weighing the ingredients to ensure the proper ratio of flour. Happy baking!
