Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix dry ingredients (with the exception of nuts or chips) in a bowl & set aside. Then combine wet ingredients in large bowl. Stir in dry ingredients until just blended, then fold in chips/nuts if using. Set bowl aside and prep pans.
Spray nonstick cooking spray on two 24 cup mini-muffin pans. Use small scoop to get equal amounts of batter in each cup. Place pans in preheated oven on middle rack. Monitor muffins as they cook quickly, between 7-10 minutes. Muffins are done when they spring back to the touch and are slightly brown.

You may have extra batter, if so, set aside to bake off when pans are cooled from first batch.

These muffins freeze well, just cool first before freezing - defrost at room temperature.
