Notes
Leftovers can be placed in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Warm up the refrigerated muffins in the microwave for 15-30 seconds if desired.
To freeze – Skip the extra sugar on top before baking. Let the muffins cool completely and place them in a freezer-friendly container or ziplock bag. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. Generously sprinkle with sugar on top and reheat in the oven at 350F for 5-10 minutes until warmed up and crisp on top.
