Let's go
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease mini muffin tins or regular sized.
- In a medium sized bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients.

- Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop the batter into the greased muffin tins.
- Bake for 12 minutes, turning pan after about 7 minutes to ensure they cook evenly.
- After they are done, allow to cool.
