  • For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon of melted butter or coconut oil to the wet ingredients.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey/maple syrup to your preference.
  • Feel free to experiment with different protein powder flavors.
  • Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
