Make-Ahead and Freezing Instructions
To Make-Ahead: Banana muffins will stay fresh at room temperature for four days. Make sure to keep them in a container lined with paper towel. Refrigerate to keep them fresh for up to a week or freeze them for up to three months.
To Freeze: Wrap each muffin individually with a paper towel first and then plastic wrap. Put them in a freezer-safe bag and label the bag. Freeze for three months. To defrost, leave them in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the microwave.
Recipe Variations for Peanut Butter Banana Muffins
Vegan: Replace eggs with flax eggs. Mix two tablespoons of flaxseed meal with six tablespoons of water, let it sit for five minutes, then use it in place of eggs.
Sweetener swap: For a milder sweetness, use agave nectar or honey instead of maple syrup. Use the same amount.
Protein upgrade: Mix in a quarter cup of vanilla protein powder. Adjust the amount of milk if needed for consistency.
