  • Chia seeds should be soaked in water or milk before adding them to the batter. This will help them absorb liquid and prevent them from becoming crunchy in the muffins.
  • If you don't have chia seeds, you can substitute flax seeds or poppy seeds.
  • For a sweeter muffin, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter.
  • For a more moist muffin, add an extra 1/4 cup of milk to the batter.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
