Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute regular almond milk for DREAM Ultimate Almond in this recipe?
Yes, you can use regular almond milk, but keep in mind that DREAM Ultimate Almond has four times more almonds and provides additional protein, which may affect the texture and flavor.
How ripe should the bananas be for the best flavor in the muffins?
For optimal sweetness and flavor, use very ripe bananas with brown spots, as they will mash easily and enhance the overall taste of the muffins.
Is it possible to make these muffins gluten-free?
Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend, but be sure to check the blend’s properties for the best results in texture and rise.
