The shelf-life of banana bread muffins is totally dependant on how they are stored. Yup, storage. When properly wrapped or covered in foil or plastic wrap, freshly baked banana muffins will last for one to three days, at room temperature. These awesome, stackable, freezable, bakable, large meal prep containers may be ideal for your storage needs.
The key to keeping those muffins fresh and tasty overnight is to ensure, first off that they are properly cooled before you wrap them. Then you store away in glass meal prep containers, airtight containers or sealable plastic bags. That way, your muffins can retain their moisture and not dry out. However, in the fridge, banana bread muffins can last up to a week, when properly stored.
Indeed! They CAN be stored in the freezer. As a matter of fact, they can remain for about 2 to 3 months in the freezer. However, this time frame is achieved only if the freezer conditions are kept constant and the stored banana bread muffins are kept frozen at 0° F. If this happens they can be kept passed the three months time period. However, if when you remove them from the freezer they smell somewhat off or have mold, do discard.
First off, collect your main ingredients which include ripe bananas (overripe ones are sweeter), coconut oil, eggs, maple extract, chopped pecans, and almond flour (not almond meal). Let’s also include baking powder, sea salt, and liquid stevia. Once these ingredients have been gathered in their required quantities, banana bread muffins are a batter away.
Let’s get our healthy snack ideas on the go! Preheat your oven to 350° F. Use paper liners to line 10 muffin cups. Mix the bananas and coconut oil in a bowl and place it in the microwave for 1 minute or until the bananas are really soft. Mix well! Add in eggs, maple extract, and stevia until thoroughly mixed.
Once that’s done, stir in the almond flour into the mix, along with the baking powder and sea salt. Don’t overmix. Once they have been combined, divide the batter among the 10 muffin cups. Sprinkle on your pecans and bake for about 35 minutes or until golden. Yummy!
