Your Questions Answered

1. Can I make these mini muffins ahead of time?
Yes, bake them fully, cool completely, and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Warm briefly in the microwave for 15 seconds before serving.

Grease the mini muffin tin very generously with cooking spray, making sure every cup is fully coated including the edges, and always allow the muffins to cool for at least 5 minutes before attempting to remove them.
