Join the discussionCan I substitute banana for the applesauce?
You can certainly try. Please let us know if you try and how it turns out!
I made these this morning and they were really dry. Any suggestions on making them moist? They smelled delicious cooking but a disappointment when I tasted them.
Leigh – These are a coffee cake style muffin, so are meant to be a little less moist than your traditional muffins, however if they still seem to dry, I would add a few tablespoons more of applesauce to the batter.
Is there anything I can substitute for the coconut? I like the coconut flour but not coconut itself. Any ideas??? Help! I really wanna make these! :)Thanks,
Nina
Nina – you can simply omit the shredded coconut if you are okay with the coconut flour! 🙂
What are coconut #1 and coconut #2? I see the same thing with the cinnamon. Does this mean they are just divided to be mixed into the recipe at different times?
Candace – coconut and cinnamon are used two times in the recipe. To avoid confusion, we label them in the ingredients as #1 and #2 and then list them in the instructions as the same.
I read that these were dry before making them, so I added additional applesauce as suggested. Can’t say it worked 🙁 These were too dry to even eat. Drier than coffee cake should be. If I were to make a suggestion, I would add some coconut oil to the recipe to add moisture?
I am going to try these today. But I am going to add cooked quina to pump up the protin and see if it will add some moisture.
We would love to hear how these turn out with the addition of the quinoa!
Does a serving of these really have 23 grams of protein? Also, would adding a couple more eggs be ok to cut down on the dryness I keep hearing about?
This recipe is for 3 servings so the 23 grams of protein is for 3 servings – they are Paleo, after all 🙂 You’re welcome to add more eggs if you like! We can’t stop you 😉
I made these today with mashed banana. Since I read how dry they were before I made them, I used one and a half cups of mashed bananas. I’m guessing that the recipe only yields 6 muffins because they are the jumbo size. I made regular size muffins and with the extra banana, I got 14 muffins. They weren’t dry, but dense. I also used shredded toasted coconut. They were pretty good. I will be getting a jumbo muffin pan and make them again!
Wonderful, thank you for sharing, Kim!
