  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup light olive oil (or avocado, melted/cooled coconut oil)
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (such as cashew, oat, soy, etc.)

FLOUR – To substitute whole wheat pastry flour, use a mix of half all-purpose flour and half whole wheat flour.

STORAGE – Muffins will keep, covered, 1-2 days at room temperature or up to 5 days in the fridge.

FREEZE – Transfer muffins to a zip-top plastic freezer bag, seal tight and lay flat in your freezer. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or right on the kitchen counter. Or, pop one in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until warmed through.
