1. Mix wet ingredients (first 8 ingredients) in a large bowl and stir until combined.
2. Add remaining ingredients and stir until just mixed. Batter will be very thick. Stir well to ensure all flour is mixed in.
3. Scoop into greased or lined muffin tins.  I use avocado oil spray.
4. Bake at 375 degrees F for 18-20 minutes or until fork or toothpick comes out clean.
