Serving and Storing

Now that your muffins are ready to be enjoyed, here are some serving and storing tips to make the most of these delightful treats:

Serving - Savor your vegan muffins immediately as a delightful morning pastry or an afternoon snack.

Storing - Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Once cooled completely, place them in a sealable container and close the lid securely. Alternatively, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. To enjoy frozen muffins, let them thaw at room temperature for 2-3 hours before indulging.

Tips and Tricks

  1. The most accurate way to measure flour is to spoon it into your measuring cup, leveling it off with the back of a knife.
  2. Do not overmix your batter. Overmixing allows the gluten to develop and too much gluten will give you gummy and dense muffins.
  3. If you are using frozen berries, thaw the berries in a colander by running them under room temperature water. Let the berries sit for 30 minutes for any excess water and juice to run off them. Pat them dry with a paper towel before adding them to your batter.
  4. Fill muffin tins about ¾″ of the way full. Any fuller than that and they will overflow.
  5. Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  6. Make sure to let the muffins sit in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before flipping them out to a wire cooling rack. Otherwise, the muffins may fall apart.

Frequently asked Questions

Can I make these muffin recipes gluten-free?

Absolutely! Most of these muffin recipes can be easily adapted to be gluten-free by using a 1:1 baking blend or a gluten-free flour alternative.
Just ensure that the other ingredients you use are also gluten-free, and you'll have delicious gluten-free muffins to enjoy!

Can I freeze these vegan muffins for later?

For sure! These muffins can be frozen for future enjoyment. Once they have cooled completely, place them in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag and store them in the freezer.
When you're ready to enjoy them, simply let them thaw at room temperature for a few hours, or warm them up in the microwave or oven for a freshly baked taste. They can be kept frozen for up to 2 months.

Can I make the batter in advance?

If you want to make this muffin batter in advance, store the batter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
To bake the muffins, preheat the oven and bake according to the instructions. However, these muffins may take a few minutes longer to bake since the batter will be chilled. The muffins will also be slightly denser as the baking soda begins to activate once it’s mixed into the batter, causing it to be slightly less potent.

What can I replace for the refined sugar?

I recommend coconut sugar. Other readers have replaced the sugar with ½ cup maple syrup or simply reduced the sugar by 25%-50% with great success. Check out my complete guide to vegan sugar for more ideas.
