Tips to Freeze:
If you plan to freeze, let the muffins come to room temperature fully before putting in a freezer safe container or bag. After freezing, you can allow them to thaw at room temperature for a few hours before consuming or reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds (time for just 1 muffin, increase if you are reheating multiple at once).
