Notes

Can you freeze muffins?

YES! Make a double batch and freeze half for another day. Simply thaw before serving. Freezing muffins is a great way to speed up breakfast prep time on busy mornings. They are also great to add to lunches. Add a frozen muffin to your child's lunch and it will thaw by lunchtime.

Can you use frozen bananas in chocolate banana muffins?

Yep! Freeze overripe bananas with the peel on and save for future baking! When ready to use, thaw unpeeled bananas on the counter (or in the microwave), then mash, and use as normal.
