Notes

Pretty much any kind of nut butter will work in these muffins. If you use a natural nut butter be sure to give it a good stir before measuring.
A good quality paper liner prevents the muffins from sticking. I like these ones.
To Make Ahead and Freeze: I like to make muffins in bulk and freeze them for healthy snacks/breakfasts later. Let the muffins cool completely before transferring to a resealable bag for storage in the freezer. The muffins will keep for up to 2 months.
To Reheat from the Freezer: Simply wrap a muffin in a paper towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds or until heated through.
Storage: If you don't want to freeze these muffins, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
