  • If you don't have a muffin pan, you can bake the batter in a greased 8x8 inch baking dish for about 30-35 minutes.
  • To make gluten-free muffins, use a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to check the label to make sure the blend is also sugar-free.
  • For a vegan version of these muffins, use a flax egg instead of a regular egg. To make a flax egg, combine 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the muffins for up to 2 months.
