Notes
Storing: You can keep these muffins on the counter for up to three days, but I prefer a closed container in the refrigerator so they don't dry out. They are good in the fridge as long as they aren't molded, which can be hard to tell in a chocolate-baked good. So again, the fridge is best!
Freezing: Let your chocolate banana oatmeal muffins cool COMPLETELY, either overnight on the counter or in the fridge. Be careful, though. If you leave them out too long, they will dry out. You can then wrap your bread with plastic wrap and place it in a gallon-size freezer bag to freeze for up to 3 months.
Thawing and reheating: Defrost under refrigeration or on the counter. If they dry out in the freezer more than you wish, reheat in the microwave!
