How do you store them?
The best way to store these muffins is by letting them cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. Then place a paper towel on top of them before closing the lid. This will keep them from drying out, and the paper towel will keep them from getting soggy. They will last for about a week in the refrigerator.

Whether you need these muffins for a future date or just want to have some on hand, you can freeze them once they’ve cooled in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
