Notes

  • FLOUR - To substitute whole wheat pastry flour, use a mix of half all-purpose flour and half whole wheat flour.
  • STORAGE - Muffins will keep, covered, 1-2 days at room temperature or up to 5 days in the fridge.
  • FREEZE - Transfer muffins to a zip-top plastic freezer bag, seal tight and lay flat in your freezer. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or right on the kitchen counter. Or, pop one in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until warmed through.
