Notes

-Once baking is complete, remove from muffin tin and allow muffins to cool completely on a cooling rack before storing.
-Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
**I added a glaze to some of the muffins as an embellishment for the picture** If you are wanting to add a glaze…combine 1 cup powdered sugar and 1-3 tsp milk to create a yummy liquid glaze for drizzling. They taste amazing with the glaze! It will just no longer be a “proceed sugar free” recipe 🙂
