Recipe Steps:

Make the batter:

Serving Suggestions:

Enjoy these muffins while warm from the oven. For spreads, try cinnamon butter for a divine richness. Nut butter like almond or peanut butter go wonderfully too and add a bit of protein and savoriness.

Serve them up with yogurt and fruit for breakfast or grab one on the go for a snack.
