Various tips

These muffins have the advantage of being very versatile, able to cater to everyone’s tastes. As I explained in the introduction to the ingredients, chestnut flour is very sweet, so you can reduce the sugar further, until you find your balance, even down to 2.3 oz. Alternatively, you can increase the whole wheat flour by 1.76 oz while keeping the same amount of sugar. Raisins can be replaced with chocolate chips for an even more indulgent dessert. And you, what would you do with chestnut flour? Come to my Instagram page and tell me!
