Notes
*You can also use melted butter or coconut oil
**Any yogurt will work or full fat coconut milk
***To achieve giant muffins, line every other hole in the muffin pan. Bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 425F then drop the temperature to 350F for 12-15 minutes, until the muffins are done. This will help you achieve big, rounded muffins on top!
