I cannot get my bran muffins to have a nice rounded top they always seem to come out flat on the top. What am I doing wrong? The one thing I know is that I am not overmixing but after that I do not know what I am doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Katherine

Hi and welcome KatherineA!
Well, I am not sure, but perhaps you didn't have enough flour in them? I would check with the Betty Crocker web site and see what she says. There are hints and tips on that site and it is dedicated to baking, etc. That should help. Otherwise, what about the rest of you good cooks? Let's help!!

There are some common problems in turning out a good muffin. Following are some of the most common problems and ways to solve them.
*If a muffin turns out hard that means there is too much flour and not enough liquid in the batter. Or, the batter may have been stirred too long and too hard.
*If muffins are tough and soggy, with peaks in the center, the batter was probably over-mixed, which toughens it.
*A muffin that rises and then falls flat in the center does not have enough flour. Sometimes eggs are so large that they increase the ratio of liquid ingredients, so you may need to increase the flour by about 1/4 cup.
*If muffins are coarse-textured, it may man not enough stirring and baking at too low a temperature.
A little trick I always use is to sprinkle the tops of the muffins with sugar. This is optional, but it will give the top of the muffin a delicious, appealing, sweet crunch when you bite into.
