Dry muffins can be a bummer, but you can totally revive them! Here are a few ways to fix or improve them:
🔄 Quick Fixes for Already-Baked Dry Muffins:
-
Brush with syrup or butter: Lightly brush the tops with a simple syrup (sugar + water) or melted butter to add moisture and flavor.
-
Microwave trick: Wrap a muffin in a damp paper towel and microwave for 10–15 seconds. It’ll steam and soften a bit.
-
Warm with fruit or spread: Serve with jam, honey, or fruit compote to add moistness to each bite.
-
Make muffin bread pudding: Cube the muffins and use them in a bread pudding recipe — the custard soaks everything up!
🧁 Prevent Dry Muffins Next Time:
-
Don’t overmix the batter — stir just until combined.
-
Bake just until a toothpick comes out clean (don’t overbake!).
-
Add ingredients like yogurt, sour cream, mashed bananas, or applesauce for moisture.
