Preparation
Chef’s notes
Storage suggestions:
Store leftover muffins at room temperature, covered, for 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze leftover muffins for up to 3 months.
Greek yogurt note:
I’ve used a variety of fat percentages and the muffins have always turned out well. Higher fat yogurt will yield a somewhat richer muffin.
Make it vegan:
You can replace the eggs with flax eggs. Replace the yogurt with a smaller amount of vegan buttermilk—just mix ⅔ cup non-dairy milk with 2 teaspoons vinegar. Let it rest for 5 minutes before adding it to the other liquid ingredients.
Make it dairy free:
See vegan buttermilk option above.
Make it egg free:
Substitute flax eggs for the regular eggs.
Make it gluten free:
Substitute an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend for the whole wheat flour.
