Notes
- These savory muffins could be made with 2 cups whole wheat flour in place of all purpose and any seasonal leafy green can be used in place of the kale.
- Plant based milk options like almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk all work; opt for the plain flavor.
- If you are not averse to dairy, consider stirring in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese for extra flavor and protein.
