Can I Make These Ahead of Time?
- Yes, you can make these muffins ahead of time—they freeze very well. This is especially handy if you make a double batch. You can enjoy some on the day you bake them and save the rest for 3 to 6 months. To freeze, start by flash-freezing the Peach Muffins in the muffin tin for an hour. Once they’re frozen solid, transfer them to a freezer bag. Flash-freezing ensures they don’t stick together.
Storing Peach Muffins:
- To keep leftover muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh for up to 2 days, maintaining their moisture and preventing them from drying out.
- Reheating Tips: For reheating, place muffins in a microwave-safe dish and heat for 15-20 seconds. This will restore their warmth and soft texture, making them taste freshly baked.
- Freezing Peach Muffins: To freeze muffins, wrap them individually in cling film and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months, preserving their freshness and flavor for long-term storage.
