What effect does the amount of stirring have on the quality of a muffin?

Answer

All you need to do is mix the ingredients so the flour and other ingredients are well blended. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula to get any flour that may have stuck to the side of the bowl. Other than that you can stir until the cows come home and you'll have flattened muffins.

Answer

Something called "tunneling" will result if the batter is over mixed. This is when you get holes and hollow spaces in your muffins while baking, hence, the flat muffin syndrome.

That is exactly what I would have done
