These are so tasty, can they be frozen?
Hi Danel, thank you 🙂 …yes these muffins can be frozen for up to 1 month. To defrost, just pop it into the microwave for a few seconds or leave at room temperature until defrosted.
Great. In these days of lock-down I ran out of bread. Made these to go with lunch-time soup. Added chilli and spring onions. So easy to make and quicker than bread. went down a treat with all my family.
Hi Rachel 😃 Thank you, I am so glad that you and your family enjoyed these muffins. It must have tasted amazing with the addition of spring onion and chilli 😋

My muffins stuck to the wrapper, I don’t know what went wrong
Hi Flora. Thank you for giving my recipe a try. I am sorry that it stuck to the wrapper.
There are a few reasons why this happens and how it can be prevented the next time. It is best to allow the muffins to cool for about 10 to 15 minutes before removing the wrapper. Trying to remove the wrapper immediately after it has been baked will cause it to stick to the muffins.
Another way to prevent this is to lightly spray the inside of the muffin wrappers with nonstick cooking spray before adding the batter. I do this whenever I bake cupcakes or muffins and it works without fail.
I hope that this helps answer your question 🙂
