Answer to Question 1

Cake flour muffins are least affected due to the low protein content in cake flour. Whole-wheat flour includes the entire grain, including its high protein content. However, the germ may reduce gluten formation. All-purpose flour is a mix of hard and soft wheat and will produce gluten when mixed.

Answer to Question 2

Desired characteristics of muffins include thin, uniformly golden brown, symmetrical top; medium-size crumb; and thin cell walls. Over mixing yields excess gluten formation and results in tunneling, peaked tops, and compromised quality.
