FAQ’s
How long do these muffins last?
Store your muffins at room temperature in an airtight bag or container. These will last about a week at room temp if properly stored.
How to freeze these Double Chocolate Chip Muffins
These muffins are great for prepping since they can be frozen easily. This recipe makes a big batch, so if you have too many pop them in the freezer for future treats!
Keeping the muffins as individual portions is the best way. Just tightly wrap each muffin in plastic wrap, then add plastic wrapped muffins to a large freezer sized ziploc bag and freeze for up to 6 months.
When ready to eat, let muffins thaw overnight in the fridge or in a cool, dry place. Warm up in the microwave and eat!
Using chocolate chips or chunks
Using chocolate chips or chunks (i.e. cut from a chocolate bar) will give you slightly different results in your muffins. Chocolate chips will hold their shape well during baking, whereas chocolate chunks, are much more melty and soft. I suggest trying both ways!
