Notes

- Palm shortening is necessary for the desired cake-like texture; oil cannot be substituted.
- Maple syrup is key for texture and should not be substituted.
- Recipe is egg-free, coconut-free, dairy-free, grain-free, gluten-free, and AIP-compliant.
- Due to being egg-free, allow muffins to cool slightly in the pan before removing to prevent breaking.
- Reheat muffins before serving.
