Kitchen Notes and Tips
This muffin batter is pretty thick. I was able to “pinch” off a small amount and roll it before putting it in my muffin pan.
Using cupcake liners makes it easier to grab a muffin on the run.
If you don’t use muffin liners, carefully run a butter knife around the perimeter of the muffins to help them release from the pan.
FAQ – How should you store muffins?
If you plan on eating them within a few days, store muffins at room temperature covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. You can also individually wrap leftover muffins and place them in a ziptop freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
