How to Freeze Muffins
Place cooled muffins in airtight freezer bags. Squeeze out any air before sealing. Place freezer bag into another freezer bag and squeeze out air. Double bagging will help prevent freezer burn and dryness.
Repeat until all of the muffins are packed, labeled, and frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw or microwave to warm before serving.
