Can I make these muffins without bananas?

You can substitute mashed bananas with applesauce in this recipe. It will maintain the texture and moisture, although the flavor will differ. Remember, the bananas contribute a lot to the muffin's sweetness, so you may want to add a bit of maple syrup if you use solely applesauce.

How long will these muffins last?

These muffins will stay fresh for about 3 days at room temperature when stored in an airtight container. For prolonged freshness, consider refrigerating them, where they can last about a week, or freeze them for up to 3 months.

Are these muffins suitable for a gluten-free diet?

Yes! Made with rolled oats, these muffins are gluten-free, provided that you use certified gluten-free oats. Always check the labels to ensure all ingredients are free from gluten contamination.

Can I add chocolate chips to the muffins?

Absolutely! Adding dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs can enhance the flavor, making them a more indulgent treat. Just fold them into the batter before baking.

Can I use other non-dairy milk options?

Yes, feel free to replace almond milk with any other non-dairy milk like soy, oat, or coconut milk. Each option will provide a slightly different flavor profile, so choose one that you enjoy!
