These 5 easy freezable muffin recipes all start with the same basic muffin base recipe and can be adapted as needed. The recipe is designed to make 12 muffins but you can double it for a larger batch.
Basic Muffin Base Recipe
- 2 cups self-raising flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 1/4 cup oil

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix together until just combined (by hand with a spoon is fine!) Bake at 180 degrees C for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool and then wrap in cling wrap and freeze.
