How to Store, Freeze, and Reheat
Proper storage keeps these muffins fresh and delicious. Here are my best tips!
Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh for 2-3 days.
For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer first. Then transfer to freezer bags for up to 3 months.
To reheat, microwave for 20-30 seconds. Or warm in a 300°F oven for 5-7 minutes.

A Quick Q&A on This Recipe
I get asked these questions all the time! Here are my personal answers.
Can I make these gluten-free?
Absolutely! Just substitute the whole wheat flour with your favorite gluten-free blend. The texture works beautifully!
What if I don’t have Greek yogurt?
No problem! Regular yogurt or even applesauce works as a substitute. The key is maintaining that moist texture.
Can I use quick oats instead of old-fashioned?
You can, but the texture will be slightly different. Old-fashioned oats give that wonderful chewy bite I love!
I’m so thrilled you’re trying this recipe! These muffins have brought so much joy to my kitchen.
They’re perfect for breakfast, snacks, or even a light dessert. My family devours them within days!
