Question

Need help, I meal prepped this past Saturday. I made muffins for breakfast and snack to last through this friday. Had them stored in containers on my counter. today they started to show signs of mold:(. How does everyone else store their bake goods for the week? Should I freeze them and take out a day before? Should I put them in the fridge? Open to any suggestions!  

Answer 1

You should put them in the fridge. and make sure they are cold before putting them in a container. you can freeze if you think it will take more than a week to eat

Answer 2

I keep the muffins in the fridge

Answer 3

I keep in fridge and freezer

Answer 4

Anything that is meant to stay moist (breads, muffins, etc) is subject to mold. Even IP recipe stuff. IP Muffins should be refrigerated and stored in a sealed container with as little air as possible in the container, so that the air won't leach out the moisture. The best way to store, I've found, is in a Zip-Lock baggie, and right before you seal the zip, use a STRAW to suck out the air so the baggie clings tight to the muffins. If the muffins are going to be in a plastic container through the day until lunch, you may want to try throwing in a couple of celery sticks to keep the container filled with moisture, but still keep the container in the fridge.  

Answer 5

Long term freezer storage should be fine, but the same rule applies-- keep them sealed up tightly-- air removed from a ziplock is best. Thaw in the fridge overnight. Keep the moisture where it belongs-- inside the muffins and not in the container's air space.  

Answer 6

I freeze mine. They need to be refrigerated if they're going to be out for a few days
