  • If you want to freeze the muffins, let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. To thaw, leave them at room temperature or microwave them for 10-15 seconds.
  • Feel free to substitute the mini chocolate chips with other ingredients like blueberries, nuts, or dried fruits.
