Notes
For softer muffins, avoid overmixing and bake just until set. For a slightly firmer texture, add one to two minutes of baking time. Freeze completely cooled muffins in a sealed container for up to three months. Handle gently when warm to prevent crumbling. Customize flavors with berries, nuts, spices, or different protein powders. Store at room temperature for two days or refrigerate for up to one week.
