Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips
Yes, completely cool the muffins before packaging or wrapping them and putting them in the freezer.
Yes, you can! Just decrease the baking time. I would start checking them after 5 or 6 minutes of baking.
First, don't substitute melted butter for the olive oil. Second, don't overbake. The tops of these muffins aren't going to brown. Remember that baked goods continue to cook as they cool. Just because you take them out of the oven, the baking process doesn't immediately stop. Your muffins are still super hot, and cooling time is slowly stopping baking time.
