Notes
For softer muffins, avoid overmixing and remove them as soon as they test done. For a slightly firmer texture, bake an extra minute or two. Freeze cooled muffins in a sealed container for up to three months. If assembling ahead, thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Customize flavors with berries, nuts, cinnamon, or chocolate. Store at room temperature for two days or refrigerate for up to one week.
