Frequently Asked Questions
Coconut flour is not a 1:1 substitution with almond flour. A good rule of thumb is to substitute 1 cup of almond flour with ¼ of coconut flour and one additional egg for every ¼ cup of coconut flour. It may also be necessary to double the liquid called for in the recipe as well. If the mixture seems too dry, simply add more liquid, a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency. If your mixture is too wet, add additional coconut flour, mixing in 1 teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency. However, I have only tested this recipe as written

Love these muffins!!!! I have made them twice for work and people go crazy for them!! They are so moist! I even left out the liquid stevia because I didn’t have any, but they still were delicious and not too sweet. I am looking forward to trying them again with the liquid stevia to see what a difference it makes, and which version I prefer!! Thank you so much for the awesome recipes!!

Kyndra,
Thank you so much for this recipe! My whole family loves these muffins. I used 1/3c Pyure instead of the sweeteners mentioned, and it was delicious with crunchy Smuckers Natural Peanut Butter!
