Best How To Freeze Muffins Recipes

FREEZER TO OVEN BERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• For the muffins: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with foil muffin cup liners.
• Toss the berries with 2 tablespoons of the flour in a small bowl. Whisk the remaining flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Beat the eggs in a medium bowl until frothy, and then whisk in the milk, melted butter and vanilla. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Stir the batter with a rubber spatula until just combined.
• For the topping: Combine the flour and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Either using a fork or your fingers, mix in the butter to form large and medium crumbs.
• Scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling just above three-quarters full. Divide the blueberries among the cups. Divide the topping among the muffins, pressing lightly. Freeze until set, about 3 hours. The muffins can be removed to zippered freezer bags at this point and stored for up to 2 months.
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place the muffins in a muffin tin or directly on a baking sheet and bake until they are lightly golden and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
• These muffins can also be baked immediately. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and bake until lightly golden and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.

HOW TO FREEZE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Bake the muffins according to recipe instructions.
• Remove the muffins from the muffin tin and place on a wire cooling rack. Let them cool completely.
• Place the cooled muffins in a baking dish or on a baking sheet. Either will work, so long as the muffins are in a single layer.
• Freeze the muffins just until hard, about 30 minutes.
• Seal the semi-frozen muffins inside a freezer bag, or another freezer-safe container.
• Label and date the freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
