Step by Step Muffin Process

Recipe Notes

If you don't have butter, you can substitute an equal amount of vegetable oil.

Use whatever milk you have. These muffins will taste richer if you use whole milk or heavy cream but you can also use 2 percent milk.

Swap out the white chocolate for dark chocolate chips or chunks if you like. Or, use a mix of both.

Storage Tips

Store muffins at room temperature for up to three days in an airtight container.

However, as a general rule, muffins can last for 2-3 days at room temperature when stored in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Muffins are a baked good that can dry out quickly, so it's best to eat them as soon as possible after they're baked.

If you want to extend the shelf life of your muffins, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

When storing muffins at room temperature, make sure to keep them away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture, as those can affect their freshness and quality.

Muffins can be frozen either baked or unbaked.

Baked muffins can be frozen after they have cooled completely.

To freeze baked muffins, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place them in an airtight container or freezer bag.

When you're ready to eat them, take them out of the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature for a few hours before eating.

Unbaked muffins can also be frozen.

To freeze unbaked muffins, prepare the batter as you normally would, and then spoon it into muffin tins lined with paper liners.

Place the muffin tin in the freezer and freeze until the batter is firm.

Once frozen, remove the muffins from the tin and place them in an airtight container or freezer bag.

When you're ready to bake them, simply take them out of the freezer, place them in a muffin tin, and bake them according to your recipe, adding a couple extra minutes to the baking time.

Freezing unbaked muffins can be convenient if you want to have fresh muffins ready to bake on short notice, or if you have leftover batter that you want to eat later.

However, some bakers prefer to freeze baked muffins because they find that the texture is better after thawing.
