Notes

Tips:
  • Gluten-Free or Non-Gluten-Free Version: You can easily swap out all-purpose flour for your favorite gluten-free flour blend or vice versa!
  • GLUTEN FREE muffins are best made with our Almond Flour Blend. You can find the recipe in ALMOND FLOUR DELIGHTS, our Gluten Free & Dairy Free Recipes eBook
  • These are best devoured at room temperature or slightly warmed. If muffins are  cold from coming out of the fridge, put them in the microwave for 15 seconds and they will be just perfect with slightly melted honey butter that tastes amazing!
Makes:
  • 1 dozen jumbo muffins, 20–24 regular-sized muffins
  • Alternatively, you can make a 9x13-inch pan or use a 9" or 10" cheesecake pan for a coffee cake-style treat.
