Notes

  1. Servings.This recipe makes 12-15 muffins.
  2. Add chocolate. You can add about ¾ cup of regular or semi-sweet chocolate chips to the batter before baking, and throw a few on top for good measure.
  3. Storing. Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature. They should last up to 3 days this way. These muffins also freeze very well. I suggest wrapping individually with plastic wrap and then placing in a zip top bag in the freezer.
