Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter. If you're out of sour cream, plain yogurt is a great substitute. To make these muffins healthier, you can replace half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. Remember to mix the batter gently to avoid dense muffins; a few lumps are okay!
