Storage Tips for Freshness
To keep your Easy Blueberry Muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to enjoy them for a longer period, you can freeze the muffins. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking, and they will remain delicious for up to three months.
When you're ready to enjoy your frozen muffins, simply remove the desired amount and let them thaw at room temperature or warm them in the microwave for a few seconds. This way, you’ll always have a delightful snack or breakfast option on hand without the fuss of preparing them from scratch!
