Tips for Perfectly Baked Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

[vegan supporter]

First time on any forums not too sure of etiquette etc so here goes: Followed to the letter a vegan recipe for lemon and poppy seed muffins but they turned out underdone despite allowing extra time. They were a good colour and done on the top but once cut into - still a little raw despite the cake tester coming out clean. Is the trick to up the initial temperature then reduce by say 20 degrees to ensure full bake all through?

Welcome to the forum!

I've moved your topic to the Vegan section, hope that's ok.

Which recipe did you use? I have made some vegan lemon and poppyseed muffins before (see the topic here) using a recipe from Minimalist Baker. They didn't rise much and had a very moist texture, but I think if I'd cooked them any longer they would have burnt at the edges.

Hmmmm. I've never baked vegan before, but from what I do know of it, I think you might should have baked at a lower temperature for a longer period of time to get them fully baked.

As with what Becky said, we would need to see the recipe to see what might have happened.
