-
Obtain a jumbo sized muffin pan. These are usually sized for 6 muffin openings in the same size pan as the usual 12. Also gather the needed utensils and bowls. See the "Things you will need" list below. -
Gather the ingredients in one spot.Advertisement -
Preheat the oven to 25 degrees LOWER than the recipe or muffin calls for. [1] X Research source -
Mix the dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls before combining. -
Combine the wet and dry ingredients with the least amount of stirring possible. You want a wet batter, but you don't want to mix it so much that you make the flour part of the muffin rubbery from gluten kneading. Light, fluffy muffins result from working quickly and mixing briefly. Recipes will often state this as "Combine until just mixed" or "Stir together until mixed. Batter will be (slightly) lumpy". [2] X Research source
-
Line the jumbo muffin pans with jumbo muffin liners. -
Spray some pan releases or oil onto the liners if you wish to prevent them adhering to the muffins later. [3] X Research source -
Fill the lined muffin pans 2/3 full with batter. [4] X Research source (Or divide the batter for a 12 "regular muffin" recipe evenly into 6 jumbo pan holes).

Remove to cool. -

QuestionHow do you get a high dome on your muffins?Community AnswerMake sure to fill the batter nearly to the top, but not all the way. Remember that the muffins will rise in the oven, you don't want them to overflow. If after this it doesn't rise, try adding a small amount of baking powder.

Tips
- An easy way to measure batter into the muffin liners is to use an "ice cream scoop" or "portion" type spoon. These scoop up a given amount and then release it with the push of a thumb lever or squeeze of your hand.Thanks
- Use a toothpick in the center to see if they are done; if it comes out clean, then they are done, but if it has dough on it when you pull it out, then its not quite done yet.Thanks
- Use your sense of sight. Muffin batter will turn slightly dull and start to tan in the heat of an oven when it has baked.Thanks

Warnings
- Have a clear, open area on a nearby counter or on top of the oven. Place a clean towel, folded in half, on the counter to prevent damaging the surface, and to keep the muffin tin from sliding off easily. Move the tin to the towel before trying to close the door of the oven, this will help prevent burns, and provide a tidy place to pull the muffins after they have cooled.Thanks
- Take appropriate precautions when handling hot items to prevent burns.Thanks
