These muffins are best enjoyed straight from the package. For a slightly warmer experience, you can gently heat them in a microwave for a few seconds or in a low-temperature oven for a short period.

If you wish to enhance their flavor, a light dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream can be added just before serving.
