Hearty Breakfast Idea
I love to have muffins for breakfast. My family prefers to have homemade ones. I have learned to make these and store them in the freezer. I bake them, let them cool, then store them in a gallon-sized slider bag in the freezer. This allows me to have my muffins longer than if I left them out in the open. The mornings that I am craving a homemade muffin, I remove them from the freezer and thaw them in the microwave for about thirty seconds. If you wrap the frozen muffin in a paper towel when I microwave them, it helps to retain the moisture of the muffin.
However, the end product will be pretty different if you bake your muffins with or without the liners. The muffins baked in a paper liner have a softer outer shell. The ones baked in a lightly oiled muffin tin without the liner will have a light golden, slightly more challenging surface.
