Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute regular almond milk for DREAM Ultimate Almond in this recipe?
Regular vanilla almond milk works well here — no particular brand is required, so use whatever you have on hand.
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.
