Good questions, answered.

Why do my muffins turn out dense?

Overmixing the batter develops too much gluten; stir just until the ingredients are combined for light, fluffy muffins.

Can I freeze these muffins?

Yes, once cooled, wrap and freeze for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature or microwave briefly.
