If trying to bake these in mini muffin tins,instead of the regular ones, how long would you bake it for ?

Hi, wonderful recipe, I personally would make muffins slightly sweeter as they lacked the desired level of sweetness for my family. The dough came out very thick and stringy (I used a electric mixer at first) is that normal? I’m not sure if I over mixed the batter as the muffins weren’t very fluffy on the inside. Also is it possible to replace the chappati atta with just plain or all purpose flour?
Kanan
yes the dough is very thick (not pourable consistency).
Over mixing can make the muffins dense and not fluffy. For muffins I recommend using spatula over the hand/stand mixer.
If you replace the flour with all chapati atta, the batter will be too thick, tough and baked muffins will be more dense. Not a good idea,
Pooja
Thanks, im pretty sure I overmixed. When i try them again i’ll just use a spatula. Also I meant instead of using the chapati atta is is possible to only use plain flour-so replacing the chapati atta with flour.
Kanan
Sorry I misunderstood.
Yes replacing chapati atta with all purpose flour is perfectly fine.
