Notes

These muffins are best enjoyed on the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to 5 days in the fridge. For longer storage, freeze individual muffins wrapped in cling film for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm in the oven. To customize, add berries or chocolate chips for a fun twist.
