Enjoy the delightful taste of homemade cranberry muffins, perfect for breakfast or a satisfying snack. These moist and flavorful baked treats are best savored when stored properly to maintain their freshness and delicious texture.

Storage Time

3–4 days at room temperature, up to 7 days in the refrigerator, and 2–3 months in the freezer.

Temperature

Store at room temperature (18-22°C) for short-term, or refrigerate at 0-4°C for longer freshness.

Freezing

To freeze cranberry 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 preserves their delicate crumb. Thaw overnight at room temperature or gently reheat in a low-temperature oven (around 150°C or 300°F) for a few minutes to restore their original warmth and texture.

Signs of Spoilage

• Visible mold growth, often appearing as fuzzy green, white, or black spots.
• A sour or off smell, indicating fermentation or bacterial activity.
• A gummy or overly dense texture, suggesting staleness or spoilage.
