Can you freeze banana muffins
Cool muffins completely before storing them. Tightly wrap muffins or place in a freezer-safe bag and then store in the freezer for up to 3 months. For easier reheating, you may wrap the muffins individually so you can grab them one at a time to reheat in the microwave.
How long do banana muffins last
Properly stored banana muffins will last anywhere between 2-7 days. At room temperature, freshly baked oatmeal banana muffins will last 1-2 days. They will last for 7 days when stored in the fridge and up to 3 months in the freezer.
How do you know when banana muffins are done
We love using a toothpick to check for doneness on any baked recipe. To check for doneness, stick a toothpick into the muffins and pull out. If the toothpick is still wet it means the muffins are still raw and not done. If the toothpick comes out dry and clean, the muffins are ready and baked through.

These are ok. Not the best, not the worst. They turned out looking really lovely but the flavor is a little “flat.” I used Bob’s Red Mill gluten free all purpose baking flour, so maybe using a different gluten free flour would make a difference. I also used butter instead of coconut oil, maple syrup instead of honey and I used 4 bananas.
