Possible Causes | Possible Solutions |
|---|---|
| Oven temperature too low | Oven temperature is always critical to good baking. Oven performance should be checked frequently to ensure correct temperature and detect hot spots. |
| Old batter | Batters should be used or frozen as soon after mixing as possible. Batters refrigerated longer than 48 hours will have significant loss of leavening. |
Possible Causes | Possible Solutions |
|---|---|
| Hot spots / cool spots in oven | Pans should be rotated 180° halfway through baking. |
Possible Causes | Possible Solutions |
|---|---|
| Inadequate pan greasing | Provide adequate coverage of pan release on pans before depositing batter; grease tops and cups of muffin pan. Grease only tops of pans when using paper liners. |
Possible Causes | Possible Solutions |
|---|---|
| Pans were not rotated in a convection oven | Pans should be rotated 180° halfway through baking. |
Possible Causes | Possible Solutions |

| Under baking / over loading of oven | Follow package directions for proper baking temperatures and times. Fully loaded ovens reduce oven temperature in the first few minutes of baking. Bake times may need to be extended. Centers of muffins should spring back when lightly touched. |
| Oven temperature too low | Follow package directions for proper baking temperatures. Have oven checked for accuracy using an oven thermometer. |
Possible Causes | Possible Solutions |
|---|---|
| Over baking / oven temperature too high | Follow package directions for proper baking temperatures and times. Have oven checked for accuracy using an oven thermometer. |
