What the AI looks for in Muffin Mixes
- Fruit format
- Canned or real fruit in the box is better than dehydrated 'blueberry-flavored' bits. Imitation fruit pieces taste artificial and don't burst.
- Domed tops
- Fill the cups nearly full and start at a higher oven temperature if the box allows. That gives bakery-style domed tops instead of flat ones.
- Rest the batter
- Mix just until moistened and leave the lumps. Overmixing makes muffins tough and tunneled.
Brands that matter
- Krusteaz: Fruit muffin mixes with real fruit.
- Jiffy: Classic corn muffin mix.
- Betty Crocker: Mainstream muffin mixes in many flavors.
- Simple Mills: Grain-free muffin and bread mixes.
What to avoid
- Mixes with imitation fruit bits if fruit flavor matters to you.
- Folding drained canned berries in roughly, which turns the batter blue.
