Notes

  1. Jumbo muffins: If you would prefer to make 3 jumbo muffins instead of the 6 regular, follow the recipe but use jumbo muffin cases and fill the remainder muffin compartments with water to encourage even baking. 
  2. Milk: Any milk would work for this recipe. I use unsweetened almond milk in almost everything that requires milk - it has the lowest calorie count of any milk out there. If you don't mind the extra few calories - opt for oat milk as it gives an almost creamy moist texture to the muffins which is incredible. 
  3. Divide the batter equally – If you’re super type A perfectionist like me, you can measure the batter and divide the batter evenly among the cases. But if that’s not your thing (I totally understand lol), the best way about it is by using a scoop. The best way to so is by adding one scoop to each muffin case, then going in and adding another until the case is full. This should give you an idea of how much to add to each case in the future.
  4. Fill remaining muffin pans with water – If you’re using a 12 count muffin tray, you can fill the empty cases with water. It’s a hack I saw on TikTok and although some people say it doesn’t work, my muffins have baked evenly each time I have done this!
