How to Freeze Your Large Family Freezable Carrot Cake Muffins
Allow your muffins to cool before you store them. While you can serve the Large Family Freezable Carrot Cake Muffins while they are still warm, you can save the extras in the freezer. Before you put the meal in the freezer, wrap the muffins individually in plastic wrap and then a sheet of foil to seal in the moisture.
You may then place the muffins in a large freezer bag with a zipper seal for added protection. Defrost the muffin in the fridge overnight or pop it in the microwave for 40-60 seconds to reheat the muffin before you eat it.
