How to Store and Reheat Einkorn Banana Muffins

Airtight Container – Allow einkorn banana muffins to cool completely and place in an airtight container. They will keep fresh for a few days on the counter, if they last that long!

Freezer Bags – I double the batch when I make these muffins. One batch will go into an airtight container. I will put the other batch into freezer bags to store in the freezer for a make-ahead breakfast. The night before I want to serve them, I will take the bag of muffins out of the freezer and set on the counter to thaw.

Of course! You can substitute all-purpose flour, fresh milled white wheat flour, or all-purpose einkorn. Simply use 1 1/2 cups for these options.
