How To Freeze Muffins |
|
Freezing muffins is a pretty simple process.
There are two ways to freeze muffins.
Neither is complicated and personal
circumstances and preferences will determine
which way works best for you.
The first way to freeze your muffins is to
bake them as directed in the recipe. Allow
the muffins to cool completely. Place the
muffins in a large freezer bag. Be sure to
remove as much air as possible before
sealing the bag. Place the bag in the
freezer. The muffins can stay in the freezer
for up to 3 months. To reheat - just pop
them out of the freezer and place them back
in the muffin tin. Place them in a 350
degree oven until heated through. You can
also allow them to thaw completely and
reheat them in the microwave at 20 second
intervals until they are as warm as you
like. My favorite way to do it is to thaw
them completely and then heat them in a
little toaster oven just enough to warm them
up. It gives them that same little crispy
exterior that they have when you first take
them out of the oven.
The second way to freeze muffins is by
mixing the batter as directed in the recipe.
Place the batter in the muffin tin just like
you would if baking them right away. Place
the muffin tin in the freezer and allow the
batter to freeze solid. If you have a
flexible muffin tin you can simply twist the
tin and pop the muffins out. If your muffin
tin is not flexible, use a butter knife and
break the muffin lose from the sides. Slide
the knife up under the muffin and work it
back and forth until the muffin comes lose.
Place the frozen muffin batter into a large
freezer bag releasing as much air as
possible before sealing.
Muffin batter frozen in a tin can be kept
for up to 4 months before going bad. When
ready to bake, just remove them from the
freezer and place them back in the muffin
tin. Allow the batter to thaw completely and
bake as directed on the recipe.
Either way you choose, freezing muffins can
save tons of time and money. Buy ingredients
when they go on sale and make a couple dozen
muffins at once. Freeze them and enjoy a
yummy muffin for breakfast or as an
afternoon snack anytime.
