Recipe Notes
Notes:
Maca powder can be omitted. An equal amount of pure vanilla extract can be substituted for vanilla powder. If you’re using vanilla extract, add it to the wet ingredients. Leftover muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Serving Suggestions:
- Top with cream cheese frosting (made with lactose-free cream cheese if needed).
- Drizzle with maple syrup for added sweetness.
