To enjoy, simply unwrap the muffin and consume it as is. For a slightly warmer experience, you can briefly heat it in a microwave for about 10-15 seconds, or in a toaster oven at a low temperature for a minute or two until just warmed through. Be careful not to overheat, as this can make the muffin dry. It pairs well with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee.
