Muffins don't stay fresh for ages, so if you haven't eaten them after 2 or 3 days, pop them in the freezer in a well wrapped bag, or air tight box. Take one out whenever you want one, it will defrost in the microwave in a few seconds.Or pop it in a lunch box still frozen it will be defrosted by the tine you want to eat it.Variations for easy muffins
- Use ReadyBrek type very fine oats instead of ordinary cheap porridge
- Or go the other way and use jumbo oats for more texture
- Haven't got any oats at all? Just replace the oats with more flour
- If you want your muffins to be vegan, use plant milk and baking spread, and check that the mincemeat is vegan, it usually is
