🥫Storage
Countertop: Place the muffins, once they have cooled, in an airtight container. They will last for up to three days.
Freezer: Make sure the muffins have cooled completely, then wrap each one in plastic wrap and then place them into a freezer-safe bag. They will be good for up to three months.
Thawing: Let them defrost on the counter overnight or if you are in a hurry, remove them from the plastic bag and wrapper and place them in the microwave.
Defrost them at one-minute intervals at 50% and keep checking them. Once they are defrosted, pop them back into the microwave for 30 seconds to one minute.
💭 Top tips
Make sure to measure your flour correctly. You must scoop the flour out with a spoon into the measuring cup then level it with a knife. If you put the scoop in and get your flour that way, you won’t get the correct amount.
Do NOT overmix the batter. Mix just until it’s combined.
FAQ
Yes, you can. However, you must defrost them first. Due to the liquid that will naturally be inside there, using them will result in really moist muffins.
Blueberry, banana, or oatmeal. Of course, any muffins are great for breakfast, however, these are the ones that I think would be best to start off the morning right.
Measured the flour incorrectly
Make sure that when you are measuring out the flour, use the spoon and level method. Do not just place the measuring cup into the flour and level it.
Overmixed the batter
Make sure when you are mixing the batter together, just mix until everything is incorporated, do not continue mixing it.
Baked too long
Start checking your muffins about 5 minutes before the end of the bake time. Make sure to use a cake test or toothpick to test the doneness.
📚History behind the recipe
Muffins have been around since the 10th century. Even though these are British and American specialties, the word muffin, is actually a version of “moufflet” which is French.
