How to Store it:

These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can also store them in the refrigerator and reheat them to soften.

Variations:

For a gluten-free version: Substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour such as King Arthur's Measure for Measure.

To make vegan: Replace the eggs with a vegan egg replacer, swap out the butter with a vegan butter or coconut oil, and use a dairy-free milk alternative of your choice for the milk.

Not a fan of bananas? Replace it with extra pumpkin puree, about 1 cup, making a total of 2 cups of pumpkin puree in the recipe.
