I’ve been baking these muffins almost every weekend for months. They’re light, tasty and healthy. Great on-the-go breakfasts for the work week! I love the potential versatility of the recipe: switch up the type of flour/meal that you use and you’ll still get a great muffin. I’ve even gone the gluten-free route and ended up with an awesome muffin.
