Tips for the Best Muffins
- Make it vegan: Swap the egg for a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water).
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
- Serving idea: Add a dollop of coconut whipped cream on top for an extra fall treat, or some blueberries
