Notes

Almond Butter: You can use all-natural almond butter too; substitute 1:1 with the peanut butter.
Honey: You can use maple syrup too.
Almond Flour: Don't substitute the almond flour with another type of flour.
Storing: For best results, store leftovers in airtight containers at room temperature for 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 6 days. If storing in the fridge, let the muffins come to room temperature for 10 – 20 minutes before enjoying them.
Freezing: You can also freeze these gluten-free peanut butter banana muffins for up to 3 months. Simply thaw frozen muffins overnight in the refrigerator and warm them in the microwave (if desired) before enjoying them.
