Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 375℉ and place mini muffin liners in mini muffin pan.
- Add all Topping ingredients to small mixing bowl and toss with spoon to blend evenly. Set aside. Note: Topping won't be used until the very end - just before putting into the oven.
- Add all Dry Ingredients in small mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Add all Wet Ingredients in medium mixing bowl and whisk to blend. Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Ingredients and fold in with a wooden spoon until just combined.

- Fill muffin cups nearly all the way full. Top each with a small amount of Topping mixture.
- Bake for 8-12 min until just set in center. Let cool before removing from pan.
Notes
- These make a perfectly portioned dessert.
- They pair well with a cup of ginger or chai spiced tea.
- When enjoying for breakfast, I recommend pairing with an egg and breakfast salad to make a complete meal.
- This recipe can easily be made into regular size muffins, just increase the baking time.
