Step 3: Bake the pumpkin muffins in the oven until golden and completely risen. Then, option to allow them to cool completely before serving or serve them warm.
How To Store Leftover Muffins
Muffins are best stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-5 days. For longer storage, I recommend freezing. Refrigerating baked goods can cause them to become dry. To freeze, place them in an airtight container or freezer safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Let them thaw in the fridge overnight and warm them in the oven to serve.
