Notes
Serving Suggestions: Great for breakfast or for an afternoon snack. You can also add ½ cup of chopped walnuts or blueberries. If you prefer, this recipe will also yield 1 loaf.
Cooking Tips: Store over-ripe bananas in the freezer until you are ready to bake with them. Their skins will turn black, but the banana flavor is intensified. You can use them for smoothies, too.
TO STORE: Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days, assuming the room is cool and not hot. You can also refrigerate muffins up to 7 days.
TO FREEZE: You can also freeze muffins. Transfer to a resealable bag or freezer safe container and freeze for up to 4 months
