The Muffin Mixing Method is typically used for any quick breads that are made from a batter. This includes:
- Muffins
- Cornbread
- Batter breads (i.e., banana bread, zucchini bread)
- Waffles and pancakes
The goal of this mixing method is to create a cohesive batter without developing a lot of gluten. This is accomplished by mixing the dry ingredients together and the wet ingredients together before combining the two parts. This ensures very little mixing is needed once the final batter comes together.
