FAQs

HOW TO CREATE TALL MUFFIN TOPS?

Fill your muffin pan to close to the top and make sure your batter is nice and thick.

CAN I USE FROZEN BLUEBERRIES?

Yes, that is a great option when fresh are too expensive or aren’t available.

SHOULD BLUEBERRIES BE THAWED BEFORE MAKING MUFFINS?

No, this is not necessary and really not recommended because it will bleed and make the batter blue. So stir them in while frozen unless you are looking for smurf muffins, lol.

HOW TO FREEZE MUFFINS?

Cool muffins completely then place in a freezer safe bag or container. Place in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
