Notes
- If making gluten-free muffins, for best texture we recommend letting the muffins cool completely before enjoying.
- Store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- If making ahead to enjoy later, we recommend popping them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds and serving warm.
- These muffins have been tested with regular all-purpose flour as well as 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour.
- Overripe, spotted bananas work best in this recipe.
