Storage Tips

To keep your Banana Almond Flour Muffins fresh and delicious, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you wish to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Simply wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months, allowing you to enjoy a homemade treat whenever you desire.

When you're ready to enjoy a muffin from the freezer, simply remove it and let it thaw at room temperature for a couple of hours. Alternatively, you can microwave it for about 15-20 seconds for a warm, fresh-baked experience.

Serving Suggestions

These muffins are perfect on their own, but you can take them to the next level by serving them with toppings. A dollop of Greek yogurt or a smear of nut butter can add creaminess and additional protein, making your snack even more satisfying. For a special touch, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over the top before serving.

Pair your muffins with a refreshing smoothie or a cup of herbal tea for an afternoon snack that feels indulgent yet wholesome. Their moist texture and delightful flavor make them a versatile treat that complements various beverages.
