I just had a kitchen disaster. What was your worst one?

I decided to make muffins.

I can't drink milk any longer, so I made the muffins with Rice Dream instead. I used cake flour (don't know how old it was...maybe more than two years?) because that is supposed to make the muffins more light and fluffy.

I was forced to use my really, really old baking powder, because I keep forgetting to buy new.

I used paper muffin cups so I would not have a mess to clean up. I put two cups of chocolate chips into the batter to make chocolate chip muffins. I used a Pillsbury recipe, and I followed directions exactly , and they should have come out fine....but they just suck.

The muffin batter glued itself to the muffin cups. The paper on the bottom has turned to cement, and the only way to get it off is to cut it off with a steak knife. I don't have any idea how that happened.

The muffins themselves are dense like gnocchi with chocolate chips, and the outside of the tops of the muffins is actually hard and crunchy and the outside chocolate chips turned to...chocolate powder.

AND I made two dozen so I could freeze them....LOL!!!馃槣

awwww....sorry to hear that happened ... they sound like they would be so yummy if they came out normal.... maybe it was the combination of the old powder & Rice Dream you think?

@NiightOwl Old baking powder with no more rise in it, old cake flour, and rice dream in combination, and the baking time said 20 to 25 minutes at 400 degrees. I will never bake a muffin for 25 minutes at 400 degrees again, that's for sure! 馃槣
