- Oil: Use a light oil (canola, sunflower, avocado). For oil-free, sub with applesauce.
- Sugar: Brown or coconut sugar for natural sweetness.
- Vanilla: Use extract or vanilla bean for flavor depth.
- Baking powder: Helps muffins rise. No baking soda or vinegar needed.
- Add-ins: Optional chocolate chips, walnuts, or pecans for extra texture.
