Muffins are one of life’s simple joys—perfect for breakfast, afternoon tea, or a quick family snack. But nothing’s worse than biting into a dry muffin that’s lost its freshness. Lucky for you, keeping your muffins soft, moist, and delicious doesn’t have to be tricky. With a few easy tips, you can enjoy your treats just as fresh as the day you bought them!

1. Store in an Airtight Container

Muffins love a cozy, airtight home. Store them in a container at room temperature, and they’ll stay soft for up to three days. Tip: place a paper towel at the bottom to absorb any extra moisture.

3. Avoid the Fridge (Usually)

Refrigerating muffins can actually make them dry out faster. Only refrigerate if your muffins have a perishable filling like cream cheese or fruit.

4. Reheat Like a Pro

When it’s time to enjoy, a quick 15–20 second zap in the microwave or 5 minutes in a preheated oven will bring back that bakery-fresh softness.
