stupidly enough i have never done this before. so i wanted to know do i have to individualy wrap them before freezing, how long can they stay frozen, can i put them in the lunch box still frozen???
i made some bran muffins the other week and my boy loved them but the recipe made over 18 muffins, too much to eat in one go! ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

I've frozen muffins before, I put the whole batch in to zip lock bags. I microwaved them on 15 secs each when it came to eating them, I suppose putting them in the lunch box in the morning they'd be defrosted by lunch time. Normally muffins don't last more than a few days in our house, DH eats them. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

I've frozen muffins both individually wrapped and all just in a container before, both ways were fine.
Not sure how long they can stay frozen for sorry. And I have often put them in the lunchbox frozen in the morning, I assume they defrost by lunch as I've had no complaints! Good in the summer too for keeping the lunch cool that little bit too :) -------------

I prefer to wrap them individually before I freeze them if they are going into lunchboxes. I've found if I wrap them frozen then pop them into my lunch box, they do defrost, but they condensate on the inside of the gladwrap first, and can make the muffin a bit soggy on the edges. If they are wrapped before they are frozen, the condensation seems to stay on the outside of the wrapper.
I think they'd last a good while, but I've never tried to keep them more than a few weeks. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

we use to make huge batches at the cafe and freeze them in one container
tip is once you defrost them, dip in milk and place in oven for a few minutes, makes them all soft and 'new' again |
