Notes

  • Storage: Keep muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They also freeze well for longer storage.
  • Freezing: You can freeze these muffins; just let them cool completely first. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag.
  • Pairing: These muffins pair beautifully with a warm cup of herbal tea or coffee.
  • Variations: Feel free to experiment with spices like nutmeg or add in dried fruits for extra flavor.
  • Mix-ins: Try adding chocolate chips or coconut flakes for a delicious twist.
