Why did it take me 5 years to realize I was overmixing my muffin batter
I kept making these dense, hockey puck muffins for years and thought I just sucked at baking. Then my sister watched me one time and was like 'dude you are beating the crap out of that batter, stop.' She showed me a video where you fold until just combined and lumps are fine. First batch after that came out so fluffy I almost cried. Anyone else have a basic technique they were doing totally backwards for way too long?

My friend spent a whole year burning cookies before realizing her oven was off by 50 degrees.

Nah, that's just paying your dues in the baking world.
