- Why did the top crack?
- This is a good sign for muffins! It means the batter rose suddenly. But if the crack is too large, the temperature was too high.
Lemon and banana muffins
The sweetness of banana and the acidity of lemon bring the 'sweet and sour' experience in muffin form. The banana fibres bind moisture, so the cake doesn't dry out, while the lemon juice helps the baking powder to maximise its effect (carbon dioxide production), making the muffin rise high.
