Wine or Drink Pairing:

  • Coffee: Nutella-stuffed double chocolate banana muffins are a natural companion for a cup of coffee. The bitterness of the coffee complements the sweetness of the muffin.

  • Airtight Container: Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. If you want to keep them longer, consider refrigerating them.
