Rose Too High
The muffins were overmixed or baked in an oven that was too hot. If the muffins had peaks like Everest with too much color, this is known as "peaked..
Overflowed
The muffin cavities in the pan were overfilled. Don't fill the holes more than two-thirds full in the future.
Undercooked
The oven wasn't hot enough or the muffins weren't baked for long enough. An undercooked muffin will have a center that is too moist and it doesn't peak enough.
Flat Surface
The raising agent wasn't effective or the muffins weren't missing an ingredient or two. Poorly risen muffins with a heavy, dense texture usually means that the raising agent was insufficient or ineffective (stale) or that the muffins were missing ingredients. If you've made substitutions to the muffin, this may also be another reason for poor rising.
Burned
The oven temperature was too high or the muffins baked for too long. Use a timer if you're forgetful.
Good Muffin
Good muffins have an even texture and rise evenly in the center. Overall, the colour will appear golden. When looked at in the pan, the muffins will be starting to come away from the sides of the pan holes of their own accord.
