    I’ve had their recipe page for years and finally tried this one. While tasty, these muffins do not come away from their papers. I recommend using greased muffin tins or adding coconut oil to the mix.

      Dear Cynthia,
      Thank you for your suggestions! I highly recommend using IF YOU CARE Large Baking Cups. They are unbleached and chlorine-free, and I’ve never had any muffins stick to them! We buy them at either Earth Fare or Whole Foods. Amazon may carry them as well.
