Notes
Feel free to add any mix-ins you like to the batter before pouring into the muffin tin. Example: nuts, chocolate chips, coconut, dried fruit, seeds, etc.
If your batter is very thick add a splash of milk. Different protein powders will absorb different amounts of liquid. Vegan protein powders tend to need a little extra liquid.
