      INGREDIENTS FOR MUFFINS

    Decide which muffin variation you are making.

    • Add the appropriate goodies for that variation.
    • LET SIT FOR 10 MINUTES - for the oats to hydrate

    • Reduce heat to 350 without opening the oven door and bake another 13-16 minutes. Cool before serving.

    Notes

    These muffins are nutrient rich.  Most lactation muffins are dense and have a bitter taste.  The combination of brown sugar, maple syrup and Greek yogurt helps them be bakery moist.  The yummy goodies we add balances the flavour of the brewer's yeast.  
    They freeze exceptionally well and are perfect for new moms, busy mornings and late night feedings.
