Notes
- Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Bananas. Choose very ripe bananas - bruised bananas are even better!
- Flour. Do not use any other flour except what is listed. If you need gluten free - check out my almond flour banana muffins.
- Liquid sweetener: You have to keep dry to wet ingredients ratio - use only liquid.
- Sweetened or unsweetened applesauce. Can substitute with Greek yogurt 2% and higher fat content.
