Notes
- Buttermilk: Regular buttermilk or low-fat buttermilk will work. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a homemade buttermilk substitute with this recipe.
- Vegetable oil: Or a similar neutral oil.
- Brown sugar: Light brown sugar or dark brown sugar will work. I don't pack the brown sugar, but you can pack it if you'd like sweeter muffins.
