• Kids will be super excited to help out with this recipe. Little chefs can help add ingredients to the blender and pour batter into the muffin pan.

• Want a little crunch? Mix in 60 mL (¼ cup) chopped unsalted nuts to the batter once blended.

• If you like the taste of cinnamon, add a pinch at step 2.

• Make a double batch and keep some of these muffins for later. Cool muffins and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or in the freezer for 2 – 3 months. Warm in microwave before serving.
