  2. I want to make these for a cottage trip with LOTS of people. Would buttermilk work instead of whole milk?

  4. Is the butter supposed to coagulate again? How do you get it not to? I thought I had it cool enough, but when I put in the milk it still did it! This is my second attempt at making these.

    These are great! I didn’t have any milk so I used water and they still taste perfect. I will try with oat flour next.

    1. They should keep in an airtight container or bag in the fridge for 4-5 days, or the freezer for around 2 months.

    1. 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.

  9. 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.
