Notes
Storage: Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Freezing: These muffins freeze beautifully! Once cooled completely, individually wrap each muffin in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw them at room temperature and warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds if desired.
Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top before baking for a delightful finishing touch.
Avoid overmixing the batter to keep your muffins light and fluffy.
