How to Get Crispy Edges on your Muffins.

My boys are obsessed with muffins. In fact, they are the only thing they have eaten for breakfast before school for the past year. Now I am not a super health food Mom but I do believe in a good breakfast so I have opted to make their muffins from scratch.

Why does it seem to be that you are either good at baking or cooking but not both? 🙂 I am a decent baker but am not a good cook. Maybe it is because I am pretty good at following a recipe exactly?? I don’t have many (if any) recipes on my blog because this just isn’t a huge skill of mine but over the past year of making muffins for the kids I think I have perfected the crispy edge.

My favorite part of a muffin is the crispy edge. After making muffins for my boys breakfast this entire school year here are my 2 tips for making a crispy edge muffin.

Whenever I eat a muffin I like to break off the edge of the muffins and eat that part first. To me it is the best part of the muffin. I finally figured out 2 tricks to make the crispy edge every time.

2 Tips to Make a Crispy Edge on your Muffins

  1. Use a baking cooking spray to spray your pan. I was using regular cooking spray but once I switched to the cooking spray that has flour in it and it helped to make the edges crisp up.
  2. When your muffins are done cooking pop them out of the pan. You can see in the picture of my muffins that I just popped them up out of their little cup so that the edges can cool without touching the sides of the pan. This really helps. I usually take the pan out of the oven and wait about 5 mins and then take a butter knife and pop them out of the cups. If I wait 5 mins I can handle them a little better.  Here is the mini muffin pan I use in my kitchen.

Here is my favorite banana muffin recipe. I cut the recipe in half and make it into mini muffins. Do you have a favorite muffin recipe?

    Didn’t even know there was baking cooking spray with flour in it and I’m such a baker. Genius! Cool post.

    I don’t bake very much but I love crispy edges on muffins. If I ever do make any, I’ll definitely utilize this technique.

    I like the crispy edges, too. I didn’t know there were ways to make sure you got them. I usually just burned them a little. I like your way better. 🙂

    I love enjoying crispy edges on muffins. I think it makes them taste better when you enjoy them with a cold glass of milk.

    I’m horrible at following a recipe! But, I love baking 🙂 My kids are huge on muffins as well. Something that they will eat, and is relatively easy, good for me!

    You may want to invest in a good IR temperature reader, to get an accurate reading of how hot your pan is to assist with the experimentation.
