instead of OIL = any other substitue?
You can try using half oil and half unsweetened applesauce to reduce calories.
Hey!! Mmmmm wonderful recipe! I love muffins and I REALLY want to make this! I have a question, however, can I use milk instead of buttermilk or would that just mess up the recipe?
@Senny, Yes, that would mess up the recipe. There’s a simple solution for making your own buttermilk though… 1 cup of milk + 1 Tbsp. of either white vinegar or lemon juice.
