Notes

Tips:
  • Add a sprinkle of brown sugar on top.
  • Feel free to use half all-purpose and half whole wheat flour instead.
  • A flax egg works great in this recipe!
  • To make sure that the muffins are done, insert a toothpick into the middle. It should come out clean.
  • Add extra chocolate chips on top to take things up a notch!
  • Let the muffins cool completely before storing them.
  • For the best muffins, store them in a ziplock bag or container. Microwave a muffin for 5-8 seconds to help soften it like it’s right out of the oven!
