Chef’s Tips:
* These muffins are infinitely adaptable. Flavour them with dried fruit, nuts, or fresh berries.
* To make mini or jumbo muffins, you will need to adjust baking times accordingly.
* If this batch size is too large for your family, wrap the extra muffins and freeze them to use at a later date. To thaw, simply remove from freezer the night before and leave at room temperature.
