Whether you prefer them sweet or savoury, for breakfast or a snack, batches of fluffy muffins that can be stored in the freezer always go down a treat. Keep them in a container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature. To serve warm, heat in the microwave just before serving.
