A byproduct of making your own labneh is whey. Don’t let it go to waste; it can be added to these muffins in place of the milk. Or add it to a smoothie, porridge or other baking. Use honey sparingly then add a little more for a sweeter icing. Remember that over stirring muffin mixtures will give you a tougher result, so go easy.
