Better yet, these mini egg muffins store well in the freezer for up to 3 months. What I do is bake them off in one of these flexible silicone mini muffin pans which makes them easy to pop out, let them cool, and then freeze them in a gallon-sized freezer bag. Then, you can remove a few at a time and thaw them over night. If you’re pressed for time and need a quick snack for your tot, you can even put the frozen muffins straight into the microwave and heat in 15 second bursts until heated through.
