Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips

Can I freeze these muffins?

Yes, completely cool the muffins before packaging or wrapping them and putting them in the freezer.

Can you make these into mini muffins?

Yes, you can!ย  Just decrease the baking time.ย  I would start checking them after 5 or 6 minutes of baking.

How can I make sure these muffins are moist and not dry?

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.
