How do you make cornbread muffins not stick? ›

Be sure to grease the pan well with butter or cooking spray to prevent the muffins from sticking. If you skip this step they will stick even if you are using a nonstick pan. Don't overmix the batter. You need to gently fold the cornmeal into the batter at the end.

Don't over-mix it.

When you over-mix your cornmeal batter, you cause it to release more glutens which can break down the structure of the batter. This will result in a loose, crumbly cornbread that can be dry and brittle.

If muffins are left exposed, the moisture starts to leak from them and they dry out. To store muffins up to 4 days, line an airtight container or zip-lock bag with paper towel and store the muffins in a single layer. Place another layer of paper towel on top of the muffins as well.

You can also sprinkle some baking soda on a paper towel on the bottom of your container and then place your goods on top (just don't do that to bare bottomed muffins so they don't get baking soda on their bottoms, try to put them on a plate first. Lined cupcakes should be ok.) Baking soda naturally absorbs moisture.

Chilling your muffin batter overnight in the fridge is the BEST thing you can do for amazing muffins. It makes them more moist, tender, and TALLER! It's very similar to chilling cookie dough, which if you know me you know I'm obsessed with chilling cookie dough. Think of it like marinating.

The extra egg which is increased protein and binder makes the cornbread denser and heavier in texture. Can I add flour to Jiffy cornbread to make more batter? When making jiffy mix cornbread, what if I don't have milk? Are there any rules to making the best cornbread?

Most muffin recipes contain oil. The amount of oil in your recipe will affect how much they stick to the liner. Removing the liners while the muffins are still warm helps. You could spray your liners with non-stock spray.

When making cornbread, use this trick: Add a few drops of oil to the batter and then pour your batter into an already hot pie pan. This will prevent the cornbread from sticking.

Thoroughly grease with shortening or butter or spray the muffin tins with a baking spray such as Pam. Also, do not overfill the tins (only up to 3/4 of the tin) so that the batter does not rise past the tin which will cause it to stick to the tops.

How do you make muffins not stick without paper? ›

The good news is that you can bake muffins without using any liners at all. Muffins will pop out seamlessly from the pan, as long as you make sure to grease the baking tin generously prior to filling the muffin cups with batter.
