Notes

Adding berries: Feel free to add up to 1 cup of berries such as blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc. Using fresh berries the bake time will remain the same. If using frozen berries, do not thaw them, but your baking time may increase by a few minutes.

To make vegan: Use 2 flax seed eggs and increase baking powder to 1.5 teaspoons, for the best lift.
