TIPS & TRICKS

How to reheat corn muffins:
Freshly baked corn muffins still warm from the oven are delicious. You can achieve the same effect by reheating them even after a day or two. Store cooled muffins in an airtight container lined with paper towels at room temperature for a few days. To reheat them in the oven, preheat the oven to 350ºF, sprinkle a few drops of water over each muffin, wrap muffins in aluminum foil, place on a sheet pan and heat for about 10 minutes. To reheat in the microwave, put a few muffins on a plate, cover them with a lightly moistened paper towel, and microwave in 30-second increments until the muffins are warmed to your liking.
