  • Tips & Notes:
  • MAKE AHEAD TIP: Wrap each in plastic and freeze in a freezer bag for up to 1 month. To reheat, remove plastic, wrap muffin in a paper towel and microwave on High for 30 to 60 seconds.
  • TIP: No buttermilk? Mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice into 1 cup milk.
  • SHOPPING TIP: White whole-wheat flour, made from a special variety of white wheat, is light in color and flavor but has the same nutritional properties as regular whole wheat. Whole-wheat pastry flour can be used as a substitute here. Both can be found in the natural-foods section of the supermarket or online from King Arthur Flour, bakerscatalogue.com.
  • SHOPPING TIP: Blanched almond flour can be found at www.nutsonline.com.
