I made these muffins but they didn’t completely rise. what would I have done wrong? in fact I was going to make bread with the recipe instead.
Perhaps your baking soda is no longer good? May be worth trying them again with fresh baking soda.
do you have anymore of the nutrition facts calories aren’t the only thing people look at 🙁
I updated the nutrition info so that it is more complete. Hope that helps 🙂
