Hmmm…..I just made these muffins – baked at 375 f – used the clean tooth pick to check for doneness. Let them cool – when taking them out of the muffin pan the top half came out great; however, the bottom half just broke off and was nothing but crumbs. This is the first time I have baked with whole grain flour and raw sugar. I found the muffins to be very sweet and have no idea why they separated – top being good, bottom being all crumbs. Any suggestions?
Hi, Heaton. Did you use gluten-free flour?
Yes, I used Bob’s Red Mill, whole grain, gluten free.
That may be the reason. I usually find that blend to be very reliable, but next time you might try adding a second egg, just to be sure.
You show the baking temperature 200 c – I looked a the chart and 200 c equates to 400 f. Is this correct?
Hi, Heaton. Yes, 200C is about 400F.
how many exchange s are they should I just count as 1 muffin= 1 snack. I’m new so I don’t understand it all yet.
Hi, jaynelb. Each muffin provides 2 carb exchanges, along with 1/2 protein and 1/2 fat exchange. You can see how much you are allotted by clicking on the exchange button in the toolbar above your finished menu, and compare it to this (it doesn’t have to be a perfect fit, just a general approximation). I can tell by looking at your pattern that one muffin would make a good snack for you.
