Techniques
Batch-bake muffins to use as snacks throughout the week
Make a batch of muffins at once so you have ready-to-eat snacks for the week.
Bake a full batch and plan to eat them as snacks over the coming days. This is a simple meal-prep approach for having portioned snacks on hand.
The short version
- Bake once, snack all week
Why it works
Batch cooking reduces repeated prep time and makes it easier to stick to planned snacks.
