Allow muffins to cool completely before storing to prevent sogginess. Place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
For longer freshness, refrigerate them for up to 5 days—just warm them in the microwave for 20–30 seconds before serving. They also freeze exceptionally well: wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
Frozen muffins can be stored for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator or reheat directly from frozen by microwaving for about 1 minute or baking at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes.
Proper storage ensures these muffins retain their flavor and texture, making them a convenient make-ahead option for busy mornings or snack times.
