1/3 cup unsalted melted butter, or coconut oil

2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk, or dairy milk

Divide the mixture into the prepared muffin pan; an ice-cream scoop works well here.

Bake about 25 minutes until they’re light golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the center muffins comes out clean.

Remove from oven and cool in pan for 5 minutes. Transfer muffins to a rack to cool.
