Notes

Marly's Tips

  • Add a glaze to these muffins by combining ¼ cup powdered sugar with 1 teaspoon plant-based milk. Use a spoon to drizzle it over baked and cooled muffins.
  • Protein Boost: Give these muffins some more protein by adding 2 tablespoons of vanilla protein powder (also removing 2 tablespoons of flour)
