-===== Notes =====
-  * I usually use enough egg replacer to replace **2 eggs* but was low on egg replacer so just used enough to be the equivalent of 1 egg. Seemed to work fine, the second egg is likely superfluous (most muffin recipes only call for one egg unless the egg is super-structural, as in the case of some gluten-free muffins).
