I followed this recipe exactly but unfortunately the muffins didn't turn out well. After 20 minutes they weren't cooked at all, in fact they were wobbly still! I cooked them for 45 min in the end. They still sunk right down after a minute out of the oven and the texture was gooey. They did not come away from the paper cases easily. Should the oven have been at 180 FAN? I also looked into chia eggs and it seems that these ones use more water than most. 2 stars since the flavour is still nice and I would try again, making alterations. Any help appreciated so mine can look like the muffins in the photo!
