Notes
How to store:
You can store these pumpkin muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Because these muffins are quite moist, it’s best to reheat them in the oven after the first day. Warm up the muffins in a 350F preheated oven for 5-10 minutes until crisp on top.
How to freeze:
Once completely cooled, place the muffins in a freezer-friendly container or ziplock bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. Then reheat in the oven at 350F for 5-10 minutes to freshen up the muffin.
