Tips
- To make your own buttermilk, combine 1 cup of regular milk (or soy milk) with 1 tbs of lemon juice or vinegar and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
- Why not get creative with this muffin recipe and make it your own? Instead of using chocolate, you can experiment with other fillings, like fresh raspberries or macadamia nuts.
