Can you use oat milk?
I haven’t tried it, but I think it would work!
How long can these be stored in the refrigerator or freezer?
They should keep in an airtight container or bag in the fridge for 4-5 days, or the freezer for around 2 months.
Can you freeze these? Do they freeze well?
I haven’t tried it myself but I do think they would freeze well! Just make sure you get all the air out that you can before freezing it in a bag.
These mini muffins are very nice and super easy to make. I tasted one fresh out of the oven and I really like that their was not alot of sugar in the recipe. I am looking forward to adding a muffin to my daughter’s school lunch tomorrow. I am looking forward to using different fruit also strawberry and blueberries were yummy.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe Shawnette!
I love this idea. Would it be possible to make the batter the day before and then bake the next morning?
