Notes

• 1) These make 8 large muffins in comparison to using a normal sized muffin tin which gives you 12-13.
  If you don’t have these Petite Loaf Pans you can use one large 8 x 5-inch loaf instead,
  cooking time will be closer to 50-60 minutes or use a regular sized muffin tin, baking them for about 25 minutes.
• 2) Add nuts or cinnamon for added flavor.
• 3) Butter can be substituted for olive oil.
