1/4 cup sliced green onion
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)

Be sure to drain the tuna well before adding it to the muffin batter. This will help to prevent the muffins from being too wet.
If you don't have any mayonnaise, you can substitute plain yogurt or sour cream.
Feel free to add other ingredients to the muffins, such as chopped vegetables, cheese, or herbs.
These muffins can be made ahead of time and reheated in the microwave or oven.

Conclusion:

Albacore tuna muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or meal. They are perfect for busy weeknights or for packing in lunches. With a few simple ingredients, you can have a batch of delicious muffins ready in no time.
