6. Baking Soda and Powder for Lift-Off: These leavening agents help your muffins rise beautifully in the oven, creating those irresistible light and airy domes.

7. A Touch of Vanilla for Extra Depth: Pure vanilla extract adds a subtle sweetness and complexity, taking the flavor profile to the next level.

8. Mixing it Up is Easy: This recipe is a fantastic base for customization. Want a burst of fruit? Fold in some chopped nuts, dried fruit, or fresh berries. Feeling fancy? Drizzle melted vegan chocolate over the tops before baking for a decadent touch.
