Tips For Making Vegan Muffin
Don't over mix the batter
This will result in you having dense muffins instead of them being light and fluffy due the gluten becoming stronger and more activated. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet and you will have a delicious outcome.
Place firm peanut butter in the microwave
Natural peanut butter can be quite tough. If this is the case for you, place it in the microwave for 15 second intervals, stirring in between.
Customise This Recipe
- Leave out the chocolate chips. If you want muffins that are purely peanut butter, don't add any chocolate.
- Drizzle extra peanut butter on top. Sometimes I like to melt peanut butter to dip the tops of my muffins in.
