HOW TO STORE PEANUT BUTTER MUFFINS

Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. You can also store these muffins in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week.

PEANUT BUTTER MUFFIN MODIFICATIONS

This recipe is a lower calorie recipe and has a light peanut buttery taste. If the calories don’t bother you, consider adding in a few of these ingredients to make them even tastier:

  • chocolate chips
  • banana
  • almond slivers
  • crushed walnut

For an even healthier version, you can substitute all-purpose flour for almond flour. It’s a gluten-free flour and higher in protein.
