How to freeze and thaw the muffins:
These gluten-free banana muffins stay well in the freezer for up to a couple of months. Here are a few tips for freezing and thawing these muffins:
- Let the muffins cool down to room temperature.
- Transfer the muffins to freezer bags and freeze.
- Once ready to eat, thaw the frozen muffins in the microwave or conventional oven, or overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
- For a microwave, pull the muffins out of the freezer bag, place on a microwave-safe plate, and defrost or heat for 30 seconds to a minute or until warmed through depending on your microwave frequency. Avoid overheating the muffins because the muffins get harder and burned.
- For a conventional oven, this method is time-consuming, but a great option for thawing larger batches of muffins. Pull the muffins out of the freezer bag and arrange on a baking tray.
