    These look so gooey and delicious. How long will the juiciness last?

    Maria Koutsogiannis

    well the muffins themselves won’t last more than 24 hours in your house…. but I would say around 3-4 days for sure! Just follow the storage instructions in the notes!

    Whats the difference between ripe and known ripe??

    Maria Koutsogiannis

    You mean by appearance or the taste benefits or a non-ripe vs ripe banana?

    Maria Koutsogiannis
