Also check your leavening agent, if you use baking powder make sure that it has not expired. If you use eggs consider separating the whites and whipping some air into them.

For me, I love molasses and look for any excuse to use it but this is also very thick, so a tried and true recipe would be good if you are going to play with it.

Lets ask the bakers in this thread for some help.

OK bakers, what do you think that Blue can do with this recipe to add natural sugar and keep the rise?

LoL. Yes, Sun, after you gave that suggestion last time... I went out and bought fresh new baking powder. Still didn't help. lol. But haven't tried the airy eggs yet. ....looking forward to finding the magic trick.

maybe it's the recipe? try another..perhaps a very simple plain muffin first?..may i suggest something from Betty Crocker? Making muffins can be a bit daunting..It's takes awhile to get the feel for making a nice batch, but once mastered..you will become a master of cAke in no time
