Notes

We’ve found store bought oat flour to be different than homemade. We prefer the texture to store-bought and suggest that is what you use.

If you have an electronic scale at home please use it to measure the flour, as these flours are notorious for being difficult to measure with cup measurements.

If your oat flour or coconut flour is very clumpy sift them.

We’ve tested storing leftover muffins at room temperature covered loosely and in an airtight container. Both methods work. However, we prefer to store leftover muffins loosely covered at room temperature. They will keep fresh for up to 2 days. Keep in mind that the longer they sit, the more moist and dense they will become.

Storage:

Store leftover apple muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Freeze the cooled muffins for up to 3 months.
Thaw at room temperature for several hours or in the fridge overnight.
