You could try substituting it for honey or maple syrup, but the flavour of the muffins could be quite different. Although still tasty I’m sure! Hope that helps!

Hi Melissa, I freeze my muffins after I bake them. I would say they would taste the best if you eat them within three months. I also wrap the muffins individually in plastic wrap (makes it easy to grab + go), then put them all in a large freezer bag. Hope that helps!
