FAQs about this Pumpkin Muffins from Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Bread and Muffin Mix recipe
What are the best brands for pumpkin muffin mix?
We used Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Bread & Muffin mix for this recipe, but there are several popular brands like Miss Jones Baking Organic Pumpkin Bread & Muffin Mix and Krusteaz Pumpkin Spice Muffin Mix. It’s all about experimenting with what works best for your taste!
What kind of mix-ins can I add to these muffins?
You can add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts and dried cranberries for extra flavor. Many could add chocolate chips, but I personally don’t think they are a good fit for pumpkin muffins. These 4-ingredient muffins are super versatile, so feel free to get creative!
How should I store these muffins?
Allow the muffins to cool completely before storing. You don’t want them still warm because they will get soggy. Place them in an airtight container, and they’ll stay tasty on the counter for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge, though they may lose some moisture.
Can I freeze these pumpkin muffins?
Yes! Once cooled, wrap each muffin in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature before serving.
