Tips & Substitutions

For a healthier option, you might replace half of the white flour with whole wheat flour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular milk instead of sour milk?
Yes, you can use regular milk by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to it and letting it sit for a few minutes to mimic the tanginess of sour milk. This will help achieve a similar texture and flavor in your muffins.
How can I make these muffins less sweet?
To reduce sweetness, you can decrease the sugar to 1/3 or 1/4 cup. Additionally, consider adding unsweetened cocoa powder for a chocolate version or incorporating fruits like bananas or applesauce, which will add natural sweetness without the need for added sugar.
Can these muffins be made gluten-free?
Yes, you can make these muffins gluten-free by substituting the white flour and graham flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that all other ingredients, particularly baking soda, are also gluten-free to maintain the integrity of the recipe.
