Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed. Add

Fill the cups of a lightly oiled 12-muffin tin with the batter. You should have enough batter to fill each cup to the top. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes.

  1. Out of the oven last night and had it for breakfast, yum! Added some cinnamon and used frozen bananas for a flavor boost

    1. Approximately 1 cup is equal to 8 ounces. I use ounces because it is more accurate.
