Notes
- This recipe is generally great for substitutions. Butter can be substituted with dairy free substitute. All-purpose flour is best substituted with almond flour, a gluten free flour mix or whole wheat flour in this recipe. Eggs can be replaced by 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed and 3 tablespoons of water combined.
- If you have extra time and want to level up your muffins, you should consider browning your butter. Check out this tuturial: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/how-to-brown-butter/.
- These muffins freeze well and often taste better the next day.
