Here are some variations and substitutions to customize these muffins to your liking. For a dairy-free option, swap the milk for oat, almond, coconut, or soy milk. To make them refined sugar-free, replace the brown sugar with alternatives like maple syrup, honey, or stevia to lower the points. Fun add-ons include sliced almonds, walnuts, blueberries, lemon zest, or even chocolate chips if sprinkles arenโ€™t your style. If youโ€™re out of applesauce, you can use mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, or peanut butter instead. To go egg-free, replace the eggs with flax eggs or an extra ยฝ cup of milk, and for a gluten-free version, opt for a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.

Tips and Tricks

To ensure your Kodiak Sprinkle Muffins are fully cooked, test with a toothpick; it should come out clean without wet batter. For lighter muffins, aim for a thinner batter consistency, as thicker batter tends to produce denser results. Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days to keep them fresh.
