PEANUT BUTTER MUFFIN MODIFICATIONS

This recipe is a lower calorie recipe and has a light peanut buttery taste. If the calories don’t bother you, consider adding in a few of these ingredients to make them even tastier:

• chocolate chips
• banana
• almond slivers
• crushed walnut

For an even healthier version, you can substitute all-purpose flour for almond flour. It’s a gluten-free flour and higher in protein.
