I know what you might be thinking. Aren’t essential oils for bath time? Yes and no. doTERRA Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils are unique. They can be used aromatically and topically, but many can be consumed internally. So, why the heck not. Get in on the natural health revolution here.
Don’t have the oil? You won’t miss out as I included the measurements for fresh lemon ingredients if you don’t have the oils.
I decreased the sugar slightly but if you are looking for more sweetness, these muffins would awesome with a slather of raw honey. Best warmed slightly, add a little coconut oil or maybe some organic tahini. Are you hungry yet?
