Notes
How to Store & Re-Heat
To store: Allow them to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container or zip-top bag. Store them at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. To extend their shelf life, refrigerate the muffins for up to 1 week. Before storing, ensure the muffins are completely cooled to prevent moisture buildup.
To reheat: There are a few options. If you prefer to enjoy them warm, microwave an individual muffin for about 10-15 seconds until it's heated through. Alternatively, preheat the oven to 350°F (176.67°C) and place the muffins on a baking sheet. Warm them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until they are heated to your liking. Covering them with aluminum foil can help retain moisture if you reheat a larger batch.
Make-Ahead
How to Freeze
Scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling just above three-quarters full. Divide the topping among the muffins, pressing lightly. Freeze until set, about 3 hours. The Mango muffins can be removed to zippered freezer bags at this point and stored for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place the Mango muffins in a pan and bake until they are lightly golden and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
To make these Mango Muffins ahead of time, you can prepare the muffin batter as instructed and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to bake, simply fill the muffin cups and follow the baking instructions. You can also prepare the Mango Glaze separately and keep it covered in the fridge until you can drizzle it over the muffins once they have cooled. This allows you to enjoy freshly baked muffins with minimal effort when needed.
