• Don’t overmix the batter once you combine the wet and dry . Mix only until just combined to ensure a tender, fluffy crumb.
• Feel free to swap the peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for a different flavor. Just be sure to use a natural, sugar-free variety.
• Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They also freeze beautifully!
