Can I double this recipe for a crowd?

Yes, but make sure your pans and oven space are ready. I once doubled this in a small oven and we had uneven baking and impatient children. If doubling, bake in two batches or rotate pans halfway through.

Can I make these in a regular muffin tin?

You can, but they will need a few extra minutes in the oven. Fill the cups only 1/2 full so they do not overflow, and check at 13–15 minutes for a golden finish.

Are these freezer-friendly?

Yes. Freeze on a tray until solid, then move to a sealed bag for up to two months. Reheat from frozen at 350°F for 10–12 minutes.

Can I use plant-based milk or an egg substitute?

Yes. Use your favorite plant milk and a flax egg or commercial egg replacer. Expect a slight change in texture but the flavor stays comforting.

What if my batter seems lumpy?

A few lumps are fine. Overmixing makes the texture heavy. If the lumps are large, gently whisk a few times until they shrink, but stop before becoming smooth as silk.
