How long will Peanut Butter Chocolate Muffins last for?
Your muffins will last for 3 days when left out on the counter and up to 1 week in the refrigerator. However, storing peanut butter chocolate muffins in the fridge will dry them out. We recommend storing them in a bread box. If you don't have one, you can store them in a lidded container with paper towels at the bottom of the container. The paper towel absorbs the muffin moisture so your muffins are not sticky and wet. You can also store them in plastic bags with paper towels inside.
Can Peanut Butter Chocolate Muffins be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze your muffins by putting them into a plastic container or freezer bags with paper towels. Layer the bottom of the container with two paper towels, place your muffins on top, and top your muffins with more paper towels. Do not stuff the container with muffins because they will get crushed if you do so.
These intense chocolate muffins are a chocolate lovers' dream, paired with a swirl of creamy peanut butter and low-glycemic sweetener making them great for breakfast.
