      Hi Reena

      Thanks for visiting my blog and for your feedback :)

      Am not a baking expert, however I will share with you what I know :)

      Regarding the muffins, one of the reasons for it not becoming soft can be over mixing of the batter. Beat the batter till everything is combined well, if we keep on mixing it it may affect the texture.

      Also try adjusting the temp as per your oven. The temp can vary for each oven.

      Hope this helps

      Cheers

      Hi Mini,

      You can use either a blender or a wooden spoon, either ways, make sure not to over mix the batter. I used a blender for this recipe.

      Hope you’ll like it.

      cheers
