How do you stop blueberries from sinking to the bottom of muffins?
Another and far more effective method, to prevent sunken berries is to spoon a third of the batter into the muffin trays and then fold the berries into the remaining muffin batter. Spoon this on top of the berry-less batter. Try this method and you will no longer have muffins with soggy bottoms.
How do you know when blueberry muffins are done?

How do I get my muffins to rise higher?
If you put the batter into a warm oven, the muffins may not rise as beautifully. Stir all your dry ingredients together very well with a whisk.

How do you prepare blueberries for muffins?

Can I put frozen blueberries in muffins?
Can you make Blueberry Muffins With Frozen Blueberries? Yes you can! While you can use fresh blueberries in this recipe, frozen blueberries also work well. Toss frozen blueberries in some flour to coat and prevent sticking and sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
How do you keep muffins from getting soggy on the bottom?
This is a very simple fix – don’t let your muffins rest in the tins for longer than 5 minutes. When they’re cool enough to handle, remove from the pan and transfer to a cooling rack. The steam will escape freely, and your bottoms will be firm and moist without any sogginess.
How do you know when muffins are ready?
The best test to determine a muffin’s doneness is to insert a wooden pick into the center of one of the center muffins before removing the pan from the oven. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs clinging to the pick, the muffins are done. Sometimes outer muffins bake faster than center muffins.
What two textures can muffins have?
Muffins can have a bread-like or cake-like texture, depending on the method used to make them. The blending method can be used for muffins to produce a drop batter. The creaming method using solid shortening produces cake-like muffins.
How do you know when banana muffins are done?
