Notes
Make ahead of time. Place in a large resealable plastic bag and store at room temperature for 3–4 days or in the refrigerator for 7 days. These muffins also freeze well. Place muffins in a single layer in a resealable plastic freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
Baking time. Because each oven seems to bake a little differently, it can be easy to overbake muffins. Check your muffins about 5 minutes before the end of the baking time. Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, your muffins are done; otherwise, cook for another few minutes.
CHOCOLATE BREAD. Prepare the chocolate muffin batter and spoon it into two well-greased 5-x-9-inch loaf pans. Bake at 350°F for 38–42 minutes. Let cool in the pans before moving to a wire rack.
