I haven't tried freezing them, but in general you can freeze muffins (they're just not quite as good as when fresh) so I don't see why not. I'd suggest you warm them gently after defrosting to make them a little softer. Hope you enjoy!

Hi Caroline. Can these muffins be frozen? They look amazing 😻

Yes, I think that would work just fine, since these are going to be baked anyway, there's no issue the mixture being unbaked. Just mix in the rest of the ingredients - since you have about a cup of mixture, I would probably reduce down the flour slightly (maybe around 2/3 cup/100g) and also milk (around 6tbsp) and so make slightly less. Hope it works out well for you!

Thank you, so glad to hear you enjoyed and have repeated them! Wonderful to hear.

I made these last year and my husband liked them so much that this year he asked me to make sure we had enough pudding left over to make them again. I think they’re a new Christmas tradition for us now. Thanks for such a simple, tasty recipe.

Sorry to hear they didn't work out - did you definitely remember the baking powder? Was your Christmas pudding maybe on the heavier side? I tend to make a relatively light style which may be why I haven't had a problem with them not rising. If yours is heavier, then you may need a little more raising agent to help them along.

Not sure why mine went so terribly wrong. They’re solid, haven’t risen or look remotely cake/muffin-like.

Will try again next year ....

Hope you enjoy these, and well done making your own for the first time, hopefully not the last (it's one I will always make myself or not have at all).

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed them! Always great to know (older post or not - we still make these most years ourselves as well!)

Well we don't break in to our Christmas pudding until later that day, but the next day for sure 🙂

Thanks, it's both a great way to use leftovers and tasty too - best combination!

Thanks, always good to use things up if you can!

Indeed! It does help balance the richness, for sure (although actually the way I make it is less rich than most)

Thanks, they are full of festive flavor from the Christmas pudding.

Happy 2015!

Thanks, they are very tasty. Yes, it's all too easy to have misunderstandings some times - I really have to check myself at the store now and again!

Ooh, the ice cream sounds good. Maybe next year we will all have to make bigger puddings to make all the leftover dishes - that's certainly my theory on turkey/goose!

I think it's just the 'Christmas' anywhere near pudding that caused the confusion - shows how your brain can read what it likes - but hey, as you say at least it inspired something yummy! And I must try some of your pudding cookies, it sounds an interesting idea.

I probably will do both. I made a huge pudding, but at least it will wait for me.

Why not try both?! Let me know how the baking goes- I did wonder about cookies as well
