Muffins can be heated in the microwave.
The microwave oven is great for heating soft baked goods such as muffins, tortillas, pies, biscuits, and fruit pies. It turns moisture in garments into steam, softening and moisturizing them when heated.
Turn power to 50% and heat baked goods in short periods, 8-10 seconds at a time, until they are warm to your liking. Microwave heating is uneven, so let the items rest for a couple of minutes to redistribute heat. If you overheat baked goods, they will become dry and tasteless.
