How to Store Banana Oatmeal Muffins

These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but you can keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for about 5-7 days. Want to save some for later? Freeze them!

Variation

Feeling experimental? Try swapping the chocolate chips for chopped nuts or cranberries. Make it vegan by using a plant-based milk and skipping the maple syrup if you prefer it less sweet. You can even add a splash of peanut butter for a nutty twist!
