Enjoy the delightful taste of homemade blueberry muffins with this guide to optimal storage. Properly stored blueberry muffins retain their moist crumb and bursting berry flavor, making them a perfect breakfast or snack.

Storage Time

Blueberry muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored at room temperature for 1-2 days, in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days, and frozen for up to 3 months.

Temperature

Store at room temperature (18-22°C) if consuming within 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate at 0-4°C or freeze.

Freezing

To freeze blueberry muffins, ensure they are completely cooled. Wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. This prevents freezer burn and maintains quality. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for a few hours. For a warm treat, reheat gently in a low oven (150°C) for 5-10 minutes.

Signs of Spoilage

• Visible mold growth, often appearing as fuzzy green, white, or black spots.
• A sour or off odor that is distinctly different from the sweet, baked aroma.
• A sticky, slimy texture on the surface, indicating bacterial growth.
