Notes

  • When I make any recipe that states mix just until combined, I made sure I only stir 15-16 times. The mixture will be slightly lumpy but don’t worry it is suppose to be like that.
  • Over stirring makes a tough and dense finished product, which is what you definitely do not want.
  • To store the muffins - Place the cooled muffins in a well sealed airtight bag and keep at room temperature for up to three days.
  • To freeze the muffins - Place the cooled muffins in an airtight freezer safe bag or container they will keep for up to three months if stored properly. The frozen muffins can be thawed at room temperature or even heated in the microwave or oven.
