Have you ever frozen muffins?

MsPurple24 · February 2011

I have been on a food-freezing kick in preparation for our first weeks with baby. I have 4 ripe bananas, so I was thinking of making banana muffins and freezing them. Is there anything I need to know? I'm assuming I just bake as usual, cool, toss them in a freezer bag, freeze, and thaw on the counter when I'm ready to eat one. Is that all there is to it? Would thawing in the microwave be a better option?

TIA!

We freeze muffins when we buy them from Costco since they are too big to eat before going bad. We pretty much do the same thing: bag them in a freezer bag, then thaw them on the counter when we are ready to eat them. Banana muffins sound yummy!

I do it all the time. You can double bag or wrap each in saran wrap if you are worried about freezer burn, but I usually eat them fast enough that its not an issue.

Thanks a bunch! I'm going to do that this morning.

I'm using this recipe that I randomly found... but I'll be adding cinnamon and vanilla. Hopefully they're as good as she claims them to be!

I do it all the time. Just throw into a zip lock bag or wrap in saran wrap. I take it out the night before to thaw if I want it the next morning. I eat them semi frozen too - I love pumpkin muffins.

I usually pop them in the oven when I have time rather than nukingSince I like the bit of crisp on the top and edge, but they are totally fine frozen ! I just Froze a bunch of Smitten kitchen's apple cinnamon muffins. DELISH. On a non muffin note, excited to see pics of that lil girl and learn her name !!

My mom used to make muffins for my dad's lunch & freeze them. She would just take one out the night before & by lunch the next day it would be defrosted.

I have some frozen muffins in my freezer now. I just take one or two out and pop them in the microwave for about 30 seconds and then eat!
