Notes
For softer muffins, mix only until combined and avoid extra baking time. For a firmer texture, bake one to two additional minutes. Freeze cooled muffins in airtight containers or freezer bags for up to three months. Allow muffins to cool fully before stacking. Customize flavors with fruit, nuts, spices, or different protein powders. Store at room temperature for two days or refrigerate for up to one week.
