Notes
For softer muffins, mix gently and avoid overbaking. For a slightly firmer texture, bake one to two extra minutes. Freeze cooled muffins in an airtight container for up to three months. Handle carefully while warm. Customize flavors with berries, nuts, chocolate chips, or spices. Store at room temperature for two days or refrigerate for up to one week.
