← Replies in Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe

I made this yesterday and while they were very good they were also unexpectedly dry? Perhaps because I was making mini muffins, and so I used mini chips. I also used splenda instead of regular sugar as that was what I had on hand. Those were the only changes I made. My husband liked them very much besides the cinnamon (which he was able to taste right away). I will absolutely be making these again, although I will be looking into the dryness issue.

I followed the recipe as-is and had no problems. Before I made it I read your review and looked through the original sources' notes to try to prevent them from drying. I found a few things that could have caused it. On the website, she mentions if you don't use full fat for the dairy then that could happen. So full fat sour cream/yogurt and whole milk. I believe she even suggests using buttermilk. I'm not sure the mini chips would cause dryness but maybe the Splenda can. Perhaps Splenda alters the product somehow. You may need to tweak recipes when substituting with Splenda. You would have to look into that though. The only other possibility I could think of is maybe you cooked them a little too long. I hope I helped so they come out moist next time.
