If you’re also wondering where the baking powder and baking soda is, I actually completely forgot. I made these early one morning and I realized I forgot these baking agents when the muffins were already in the oven. To my surprise they turned out just fine! Truly they are some whole food plant based muffins! ;)
I hope you enjoy!
Sending you love and light wherever your beautiful soul may be.
Namaste.
