Notes
Notes & Variations
- Flour Option:
- Almond flour makes the muffins richer, more moist, and slightly higher in healthy fats — great for blood sugar stability and hormone balance.
- Oat flour gives them a lighter, cake-like texture with more complex carbs and fiber — perfect for a pre-workout or morning energy boost. If using oat flour, check the batter consistency and add 1–2 tablespoons more if needed (oat flour absorbs moisture differently).
- Storage Tip: Keep in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
