Can you make blueberry muffins using frozen blueberries?

Yes, I have made these muffins both ways. Using frozen and using fresh. The picture above is with fresh blueberries. They turn out just as good with either.

Can you freeze blueberry muffins?

Blueberry muffins freeze well. They can be stored frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw completely at room temperature, or heat frozen muffins in the microwave or conventional oven as directed below: For microwave oven, remove muffin wrapper, wrap in a paper towel and microwave. Times will vary based on frozen or thawed muffins, and with each microwave. Always start with a minimum time.

What’s the best way to store muffins?

Now, this is for refrigerator storage. You can store muffins in the fridge up to 4 days. Either store them in an airtight container or Ziploc baggie with a paper towel. If you have more than one layer to store, place a paper towel between the layers to keep them from becoming soggy.

    This recipe made 12 perfectly delicious blueberry muffins. Next time I’ll try leaving out the cinnamon and adding a touch of lemon zest instead to the topping. This will be my go to recipe for muffins from now on.

  2. I got up early to surprise my kids with these and they were a hit! The only sub I made was avocado oil for the vegetable oil and it worked perfectly! Yum!
