How to store muffins at keep them fresh

Room temperature

• Store muffins at room temperature in an airtight container or a ziplock bag lined with paper towels. Place the muffins in a single layer inside so that they are surrounded on all sides by paper towels. Alternatively, store the muffins on a cake stand with a dome cover. Muffins stored at room temperature can stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.

Refrigerated

• Store muffins refrigerated if they contain ingredients that aren't safe to be stored at room temperature eg. cream cheese or if you live in a hot climate. Cool them first on a wire rack then pack the muffins in a single layer into a suitable airtight vessel lined with absorbent kitchen paper. Or, place them flat into a ziplock bag between the paper towels. Store muffins refrigerated for up to 5-7 days but I recommend eating them not later than 5 days for the best taste.

Freezer

• Storing muffins in the freezer keep them fresh, especially if you freeze them as soon as possible after baking. Cool the muffins on a wire rack and then individually wrap them in plastic food wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Place the wrapped muffins into a freezer bag. Store muffins in the freezer for up to 3 months
