Do I Need To Reheat The Chocolate Banana Muffins After Freezing?

Full question

If I freeze the Chocolate Banana Muffins, can I just check reheating is not necessary for safety? It is only if you prefer them warm? Thanks!

Our answer

Nigella's Chocolate Banana Muffins (from KITCHEN) are delicious as a breakfast treat or a snack, but they are also elegant enough to be served with coffee after dinner. As the muffins contain banana, they do not stale as quickly as other muffins and they also freeze very well.

If you reheat the muffins this is only really to reheat them as most muffins are best served slightly warm. However it is not a necessity as the muffins are completely cooked through when they are baked and there is no risk of undercooked eggs. If you freeze the muffins then they do thaw pretty quickly at room temperature and are best eaten on the same day that they are defrosted.
