Notes
You can use oil instead of butter but keep in mind that the texture of the muffins will be much softer. Choose a flavorless oil like vegetable oil, canola oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, or safflower oil. A combination of oil and butter works well! Use ¼ cup of oil and ¼ cup of melted butter. Make the muffins gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend. Buttermilk, sour cream or regular yogurt can be used in place of whole milk. If you wish to use Greek yogurt, you’ll need to thin it out by mixing ¾ cup of Greek yogurt with ¼ cup of water.
