Recipe Tips

FAQ

Can I freeze these muffins?

Yes, these muffins freeze well. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or reheat in the microwave.

Can I use a different type of flour?

All-purpose flour works best for the classic texture. You can substitute whole wheat flour, but the muffins will be denser.

How do I make the crumb topping extra crunchy?

Use cold butter and do not overmix the topping. You can also add a tablespoon of chopped nuts for added crunch.
