My sweet cousin @monat.by.aleena gave me this recipe YEARS ago. Tried and true- we love these! This recipe makes soooooo many muffins (50-60) so I like to freeze most of them. My kids love popping a frozen muffin into the microwave for a quick breakfast. If you don’t want to cook the muffins all at once, the remaining batter stays fresh in the fridge for 2 weeks. 😊

Hi Amber, have you tried reducing the sugar? Is there a good healthy sugar substitute or would it be ok to just reduce it to 2 cups?
You could totally reduce the sugar. You can also use honey or maple syrup.
