Notes
Flour: I use white whole wheat flour for my baking. However, you could also substitute regular all-purpose flour for this recipe or use a combination of the two.
Honey: I use honey as the sweetener but I think maple syrup would be fine here too. And if you need these to be vegan, you can also use a flax egg as a substitute for the egg.
Yield: You can also make 24 mini muffins and end up with enough batter for about 3 large muffins. Those need to bake for 20 minutes.
Storage: The extras will keep for about 5 days at room temperature, in a sealed ziptop bag or plastic container.
You can also freeze the leftovers! Once cooled, pop the extras in a ziptop plastic freezer bag -- that's labelled -- and will keep in the freezer for up to 5 months. You can either thaw them in the fridge overnight or just pop them straight from freezer to microwave to quickly warm them up.
