Quick Tips & Tools:
Tools:
2 Muffin trays, muffin cups, 2 medium sized bowls, measuring spoons, mixing spoon / spatula.
Tips:
You can use eggs instead of flax meal. We personally love flax though for the added fibre, omega’s, and super soft consistency of muffins. Plus you don’t have to waste your eggs 🙂
Saving Time:
Double or even triple your muffins!! And freeze them to have later for snacks, desserts or picnics.
