Tips: 

A Vitamix works well for this recipe. 

Choose nut butters that don’t contain a lot of oil. 

I have tried a combination of almond butter and peanut butter and prefer the combination. 

I have also tried just peanut butter, and it was just as delicious.  

Muffins can be stored in an air-tight container for up to a week in the refrigerator.
