Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

For longer storage, freeze them individually wrapped in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. When the craving strikes, simply reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.

Pro Tips from the Kitchen

1. Use parchment paper liners for easy removal and to keep the muffins from sticking—nobody wants a muffin that crumbles!
2. Let the muffins cool completely before storing; this prevents condensation and keeps them fresh longer.
3. If you’re short on time, this batter can be prepared the night before and refrigerated—just bake them in the morning for fresh muffins!

FAQs

Can I substitute the egg?
Absolutely! Use a flax egg, which is made by mixing 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water.

Can I use instant oats instead?
While rolled oats are preferred for texture, instant oats can work in a pinch. Just keep in mind the muffins may be softer.

How do I thaw frozen muffins?
Leave them at room temperature for a couple of hours or microwave them for about 30 seconds to warm them up.
