Before you begin, check these general tips for making muffin-tin meals…

  • Chop vegetables, fruits and other chunky ingredients very small.
  • To freeze, cool “muffins” in the pan on a wire rack for five minutes, then loosen the edges with the tip of a knife or spatula and let them cool completely. Wrap the entire pan with foil and freeze until solid (about six hours). When frozen, use a knife to ease the muffins from the pan, then place them in heavy-duty zip-top freezer bags and return to freezer. Store up to one month.
  • To reheat: Place frozen “muffins” back into a muffin pan or on a baking sheet, cover with foil and warm in 350°F oven until hot (about 20 minutes). Or microwave a few minutes until warmed through.
