Notes
- Substitutions:
- Substitutions
- Oil - Use another neutral-flavored oil like vegetable, or use melted (and cooled) butter.
- Flour - Make them gluten-free by using gluten-free flour and oats.
- Oats - Swap them out for all flour, if you don't have them.
- Berries - Blueberries are our favorite for this recipe because of the ginger, but cherries are also a great substitution!
- Storing:
- Storing
- Muffins are ok to stay out on your cooling rack with just a paper towel on top of them for 24 hrs. For longer, line a plastic bag or storage container with a paper towel and add muffins, store in just one single layer. Then top with a paper towel. Store on the counter for up to 4 days. Add to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months, again in just a single layer.
