Recipe Notes

It would be a great idea to make these muffins in batches and freeze them for later use.

Wrap individual muffins in a plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container.

Simply defrost these frozen muffins in a microwave for about 20 to 30 seconds or until they are soft and moist again. You can also leave it in the refrigerator for couple of hours or on the kitchen counter for an hour or two.
