Recipe Notes
(Makes 12 muffins)
These muffins are naturally moist, so they are best stored in the fridge for 5-7 days. Pop them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to soften and warm them before eating.
If you want to make a double batch or save them for later, store them in the freezer for up to two months. When you’re ready to eat, microwave for 60 seconds and enjoy!
