Notes
You can freeze these muffins for up to 6 weeks. Allow them to come to room temp and wrap them with plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. Thaw and reheat if desired.
You can use regular milk or any other dairy free milk alternative of your choice.
Any neutral oil can be used in the place of olive oil.
Don't like walnut? Choose any mix-ins you would like. My kids love chocolate chips!
I have not tried an egg free alternative of this recipe, but I have had great success with Bob's red Mill Egg Replacer in other muffin recipes.
