Do homemade blueberry muffins need to be refrigerated?
Never refrigerate muffins. The cool temperature of the fridge changes the texture of muffins and makes them dry out faster rather than keep them moist.
How do you know if blueberry muffins are bad?
How to tell if muffins are bad or spoiled? The best way is to smell and look at the muffins: discard any that have an off smell or appearance; if mold appears, discard the muffins.
How do you store fresh blueberry muffins?

Can I freeze blueberry muffins?
Yes! You can freeze baked muffins and even muffin batter in just a few easy steps. Get started with these foolproof frozen blueberry muffins. Most baked goods can last in your freezer for about two to three months, so be sure to label your muffins with their name and date they were baked.
Can blueberry muffins be left out overnight?
If you’d prefer to put them in a container, you can (once fully cooled) put them into an airtight container and leave at room temperature for up to 24 hours. If muffins are left exposed, the moisture starts to leak from them and they dry out. Place another layer of paper towel on top of the muffins as well.
How long are Costco muffins good for?

Is it better to use fresh or frozen blueberries for muffins?
Frozen blueberries will almost “melt” when you bake the muffins, because the skin becomes more fragile after freezing. If you use fresh blueberries, they will be more intact after baking and will sometimes still “burst” when you bite into them. As for the taste, some blueberries will have more taste than others.
Why did my blueberry muffins turn green?
The amount of alkaline ingredients in a muffin recipe aren’t enough to cause a problem. Instead, the color-changing reaction happens when baking soda or powder isn’t evenly mixed in, creating little alkaline pockets that turn nearby blueberries green.
Is it OK to leave muffins out overnight?
