Thanks!! That one looks possibly better than the recipe I found which looked like a failure. I might test this one out once I've done the conversions.
Really? I never knew that!(Original post by Sabertooth)
Apple sauce is a pretty common substitute. -

Re: Muffins without butterGlad to know they can work! The first recipe I found had people try it out who said the mixture was runny and ended up going in the bin.(Original post by CS Greg)
My sister is allergic to all dairy, and can made very nice muffins, so it is certainly possible.
And I usually have dairy-y, chocolate muffins, so it's not like I've just got used to worse, buffer free ones. -

Yes!
Google Nigella Lawson's Pear and Ginger muffins — just oil, no butter — and they were really good

Re: Muffins without butterI have tried these and they were really nice! They have oil though. I made them gluten free flour too and they were still good! (Oh, and measuring in a cup worked for me too!)
I haven't tried these ones yet and they seem like more healthy ones than sweet but they sound good.Last edited by Sprockette; 01-07-2012 at 19:07. -

I've given up now. Until I get this oven looked at, I can't do anything.
I've barely been able to bake at all this past year, cos of the crappy ovens in halls. So I feel your pain.

My last one broke and the landlord refused to fix it until after I moved. Hoping this one gets fixed/replaced quicker, especially as the hobs are broken too.
I just tried these 50 degrees lower and they still cooked on top and sunk in the middle. -

Re: Muffins without butterIf the middle isn't cooking have you tried putting tinfoil over the top - should keep it from burning while the rest cooks.(Original post by hannah_dru)

Re: Muffins without butterMight try that next time, thanks(Original post by superwolf)
If the middle isn't cooking have you tried putting tinfoil over the top - should keep it from burning while the rest cooks. I've asked for the landlord to call an engineer out just in case as they were in there for over half an hour.

Used the American one (converted) but my oven is very temperamental and likes to overcook when I bake. Might have to be rice crispie cakes for my friend instead!
