Yes! Pumpkin muffins freeze really well. Let the muffins cool completely and then wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place in a ziplock freezer bag. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight or on the counter. You can microwave them briefly to warm them.

Okay, so the TASTE of these muffins is a 5/5. They’re delicious! I added two extra teaspoons of pumpkin spice for extra pumpkin flavor, and they taste amazing. The reason for the 3 star review is that is almost impossible to get these out of the cupcake liners. When I get the liner off, 1/3 of the muffin has stuck to it. I’m not quite sure what to do to fix that issue.
Love these muffins. They turned out great!
I have eaten many muffins but this butterscotch muffin is still the best in taste. And I also like this Ottawa Senators Satin Jacket for game wear because its a latte like this recipe.
These were absolutely delicious! I am not typically a butterscotch lover, but this was an amazing combo! Could not stop eating
