If you give a moose a muffin... You know the story
. Some mornings I feel like I have a herd of moose in my house. I couldn't keep up on the muffin front. I wanted leftover muffins for snacks and lunches without having to bake 100 muffins and then gag on the leftover banana smell in the pantry.And then I came across a golden tidbit while reading Money Saving Mom. You can freeze muffin batter raw! It works, we've tried it.
Just whip up your favorite muffin recipe and fill your greased or lined muffin tins as usual. Place the whole pan in the freezer until the muffins are frozen solid. Then pop them out and place in a freezer bag up to three months. When you are ready to bake just add another 5 minutes or so. Alternately you could place them in the pan to defrost in the fridge overnight and bake as usual in the morning.
We made a double batch of Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins (minus some sugar) this morning. Baked one pan and froze the other for later.
Fly Guy has 1.5 hours to get to the airport when he's called on reserve. As soon as that phone rings one of us can pop in some muffins which will be waiting fresh when he heads out the door. Oh my meese are going to love me!
