How do you store them?
The best way to store these muffins is by letting them cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. Then place a paper towel on top of them before closing the lid. This will keep them from drying out, and the paper towel will keep them from getting soggy. They will last for about a week in the refrigerator.
Can you make them ahead of time?
Yes, these Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are perfect for making ahead and freezing. Whether you need these muffins for a future date or just want to have some on hand, you can freeze them once they’ve cooled in an airtight container for up to 3 months. When you are ready to serve, just allow them to defrost overnight in the fridge and then warm them up in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

Wow! These are excellent! Thank you for sharing. I love the fact that the muffins are baked through with no mushiness in the middle. I used chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips, but followed the recipe exactly otherwise. Thinking I may try browning the butter a bit next time just for kicks 🙂

I have never had a better muffin! They are so delicious! The only thing I did differently was I made sure my eggs were room temperature before adding them to the mixture.

These are so good!!! I only had one egg in the house so I added 1/4 cup applesauce & 1/2 tsp baking powder just because. Wonder muffins. Thanks for the recipe.
I would include a picture if I knew how.

Allie Betterton says
I only have salted butter 😭 will it work…or do I need to make a Walmart run?
Dina says
Hi Allie 🙂 I would not use salted butter to make these muffins. The salt ratio will be off and it will alter the taste. Let me know how these muffins turn out! 🙂
