Muffins?

everytime i make muffins they have flat tops, what am i doing wrong? I have tried turning oven down, turning it up, not over mixing, making sure i have measured everything properly but they are all still flat tops.

sometimes if my mixture is too wet they come out flat, i always beat the crap out of my mixture, i like the peaks lol, and they are never tough!! maybe try another recipe?

Some muffins *are* flatter than others - see the photo on Simon and Alison Holst's Healthy Muffin book

Yep, flat tops are usually what you get when the mixture is very wet.Try cutting back on the liquid...I find the best muffins come from a dry mixture with the flour lumpy and barely mixed in :o)Good luck!

I got flat tops on mine when I used a silicone muffin pan my sister lent me to try.She found the same thing with it.

I laughed when I re read my post it was meant to say not beating it at all lol
