How to Store Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Reheat briefly in the oven to restore freshness.
Ingredients:
3 cups finely ground almond flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon golden monk fruit sweetener
3 ripe bananas
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ to 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with liners if desired and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
Whisk together the dry ingredients, including the monk fruit sweetener, and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mash the bananas, then add the eggs and vanilla. Stir until combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
