Notes
For mini muffins fill your mini muffin tins, and just reduce the baking times. It will take about 10 to 12 minutes, but check them early.
Muffins can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days for the best freshness.
To freeze, wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap, then place it in a freezer bag or freezer-safe container.
