Notes

  • Storage 
  • Batter - Store any leftover batter in a large air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks. Just scoop and fill the amount of muffins you want to make in the muffin tin when ready to use and place batter back in refrigerator. Bake muffins at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. 
  • Muffins - Store in air tight container after the muffins have cooled. On the counter they will last 1-2 days. If you store them in the refrigerator they will last up to a week. You can also freeze them and they will last 2-3 months, just grab a few out of the freezer and let defrost when you are ready to enjoy them or pop into the microwave for 45-60 seconds.
