While our classic banana muffins are truly a favorite snack, sometimes we just wish they had that extra sweetness in them.

Soggy muffins getting you down?

We’ve all been there for those unfortunate soggy muffins. That’s what happens to leftover muffins. However, there are two different ways to keep muffins from getting soggy. Whichever method you use, you first want to make sure your muffins are completely cool before placing them in an airtight container. Those muffins couldn’t have any residual heat.

Option 1: Add some soda crackers to an airtight container. The biscuits will absorb the excess moisture, giving your muffins the perfect texture.

Option 2: Place paper towels in the bottom of the storage container. Place muffins in a single layer on paper towels, then place another paper towel on top. Paper towels will absorb excess moisture.
nut:

Nuts are completely optional in this recipe. Add them if you like them, leave them out if you don’t. Once the batter is made, gently fold in 1/2 cup of the chopped nuts. Almonds, walnuts, or pecans all work well in this recipe.
Dome Muffin Tops:

To get the perfect domed muffin top, you need to first fry the batter in the oven over heat, then let it finish baking in a slightly cooler oven. This causes the steam in the muffins to be released quickly, causing the muffins to expand quickly and form a perfect dome. That’s why we call for the first 5 minutes of baking at 450 degrees, then lower the temperature to 350 degrees F for the remainder of the bake time. Watch your muffins carefully when baking is complete, as ovens vary slightly, so your cooking time may vary. Take the muffins out once they are golden brown on top.
Freezing Instructions:

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins freeze well! Add single-layer muffins to a zip-lock freezer-safe storage bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Storage Instructions:

Wait until muffins are completely cool before storing in an airtight container for up to 7 days. Be sure to check out our tips above to keep your muffins from getting soggy!
