These no-egg chocolate muffins are so fluffy thanks to the addition of Greek yogurt.

Why Are My Muffins Falling Apart?

Make sure to weigh your ingredients using a digital kitchen scale for accuracy.
Allow the muffins to cool for at least 10 minutes in the muffin pan before transferring to a wire rack. If you move the muffins whilst still hot, they may fall apart.

Results for this recipe highly depend on using the right amount of ingredients and may vary depending on different oven models, temperatures, and amount of batter used for each muffin.

How Can I Get Bakery-Style Muffins?

The following are some tips to achieve bakery-style muffins with a high rise:

• Mix your dry ingredients well before adding to the batter to ensure that baking powder is distributed evenly.
• Chill the batter before baking for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the batter helps to activate leavening agents, improves flavors, and allows flour to absorb more moisture, making muffins tender, moist, and tall!
• Fill muffin liners all the way to the top. Most recipes will instruct you to fill muffin liners ¾ or ⅔ of the way, but one of the tricks for achieving a tall bakery-style muffins is to fill them up all the way! Be aware that baking times may vary depending on the size of your muffins.
• Start baking in a hot oven at a temperature of 220°C (428F) and then, without opening the oven door, decrease the temperature to 175°C (350F) and bake until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Oven temperature (particularly starting to bake at a very hot temperature) is the most important factor in achieving a domed look!

Why are my Muffins Dry and Crumbly?

To avoid dry and crumbly muffins, make sure to weigh your ingredients before starting (use a digital kitchen scales to do this). Avoid overmixing the batter after adding the dry ingredients.
