I have made this recipe twice already. The second time I added grated apple with some chpped walnuts and half a cherry on top. I have several food intoletances that make baking complicated for me. For example I cannot eat xanthan gum which is very common in gluten free baking. Thank you for this simple, tasty little recipe. I will be making it often because my family likes them so much. By the way, I used a regular sized muffin pan and baked my 12 muffins for 20 minutes.
Thank you so much for trying the recipe! I love your variations with apple, walnuts, and a cherry on top. I’m really glad this recipe works for your dietary needs and that your family enjoys it too:)
Can I bake these in a regular size muffin pan?
I dont have a mini size.
Yes, you can! In that case, you can simply add an extra 10 to 15 minutes to the baking time and make sure it’s thoroughly baked! I hope you will like the muffins!
Where does it say a mini muffin pan???
In the recipe card under Equipment, it lists a 12-cup muffin pan, which is smaller than a standard muffin pan! If you’re using a standard-size pan (as I mentioned in my other comment), just add about 10–15 minutes to the baking time.
