Freezing

[mema]

Does anyone freeze muffins? I had a bunch of over ripe bananas and some pumpkin left over from pancakes and made muffins. I would like to freeze them as I don't need them right away. TIA

I do often.

I defrost and put them back in the oven to brown a bit so they are crisp again on the outside.

If I know I will be freezing them I take them out of the oven while they are still a bit pale, but done. "Par Baked" if you have ever done restaurant kitchen work.

Do you put them in freezer bags or wrap them in foil? I have never frozen breads, so not quite sure.

I put them in leftover chinese food containers and freeze them. If you take them out and let them defrost, they will be quite wet. A quick bake before serving is a good idea although nobody has complained about them being a bit sticky after freezing. They still go poof!

I use quart sized freezer bags and open them a bit when defrosting in the fridge to keep them from getting soggy.

Thanks! Crossing my fingers!

You can put wax paper between the pancakes. Making it easier if you need just a few.

i freeze everything. In fact I made tons of mini muffins and freeze them.
