How long will these fruity cereal muffins stay fresh?

What berry flavored muffin mix works the best?
I personally prefer using blueberry! It’s my favorite muffin mix. However, strawberry and lemon both work very well with this recipe. There’s really no “best” berry flavored muffin mix to use – it’s all up to your preference.
Can I freeze them?
Yes! They’ll stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy the muffins, simply let them thaw in the fridge or on the counter for a few hours.
However – the fruity cereal loops on top may lose their crunchy texture in the freezer. If you want to make sure the topping is perfect, then I recommend not adding the cereal on top until the muffins are thawed.
As Gaga would say, I’m not “bluffin’ with my muffin.” Here are some more muffin recipes I just can’t stop craving!
