21 what do over mixed muffins look like? a fluffy b perfectly round at the top c flat d peaked with worm holes/tunnels
When muffin batter is over - mixed, the gluten develops too much. This affects the rise and structure of the muffin. Over - mixed muffins tend to have a peaked top and develop tunnels or worm - like holes inside (and visible on the surface) because the over - developed gluten traps air unevenly and causes improper expansion during baking. Fluffy and perfectly round tops are characteristics of well - mixed and properly baked muffins. Flat muffins are usually a result of other issues like not enough leavening or over - baking in some cases, not over - mixing.
