Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Ripe Bananas - When baking with bananas the general rule is the riper the better! So your dark brown bananas as perfect to use. Bananas have gone bad (and shouldn't be used) if they have mould on them or a slimy liquid coming from them.

Chocolate Chips - Our muffins are completely delicious with or without chocolate chips.

Adding Nuts - Chopped walnuts, macadamias and pecans are a few of my favourite additions.

Storing - Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature. Muffins are best consumed within 1-2 days of baking.
Note: do not store muffins in the fridge as this will dry them out.

Freezing - Freeze muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
