November 28, 2018 at 4:19 pmI just pulled these muffins out of the oven and had to taste them while still warm! My first impression is that they taste like…oatmeal. That’s not necessarily a bad thing because I like oatmeal. They’re not very sweet but I am sure they would be sweeter if I had added fruit, but. I was looking for an oatmeal cookie in muffin form so I left that out. I did add some cinnamon. The texture is wonderful.. I like them and will make them again. They are a great breakfast item. I think I will add diced apples or golden raisins the next time.

November 28, 2018 at 5:45 pmI am so glad you liked them. If you would like them to be a little sweeter, you can add a little more sugar 🙂

August 28, 2018 at 2:55 pmWould like comment from someone who has already made these! It seems they all are saying the recipe LOOKS good. I think so, too but that’s not the kind of comment I like for! I can’t give any stars, cause I haven’t made the muffins!
Sandi Gaertner
August 28, 2018 at 7:00 pmHi Jo, I completely understand and I would LOVE if you could try this recipe and come back to comment. So many said they would try, even asking for recipe modifications, but none have come back to let us know what they thought. I make this recipe a few times a month, but I am biased :-).

June 30, 2018 at 12:52 pmDo you think I could substitute the almond flour with cup 4 cup flour and omit the xanthiam gum?
Sandi Gaertner
June 30, 2018 at 12:58 pmThank you for your note. I have not used Cup4Cup personally. I do see it already has Xanthan gum so you definitely would not want to add more. If you do use this instead of almond flour, you will need less of it because it absorbs more liquid than almond flour would. Good luck.
Shara
February 21, 2018 at 5:28 pmThese look amazing! Do you think it would be possible to replace the eggs with flax eggs?
Thanks!
Sandi Gaertner
February 21, 2018 at 6:26 pmHi Shara, I haven’t tested this with flax eggs, but I suspect it could work. Will you please come back and let us know if you try it? Thank you!

February 19, 2018 at 8:04 pmI have not made muffins at home for so long (not sure why). Clearly I need to get back in the habit and try this recipe!
Sandi Gaertner
February 20, 2018 at 8:40 amLOL, I forget too. My kids are really great at reminding me to make things 🙂

Christine
March 24, 2015 at 10:29 amI would love these as is but my kids can’t handle coconut oil and taste even the slightest bit when I try to sneak it in. Do you have an opinion on grapeseed oil? Curious to know.
Sandi Gaertner
March 24, 2015 at 2:06 pmHi Christine. I do use grapeseed oil in muffins. Here is a recipe I use frequently for our family. This will give you an idea of proportions. http://fearlessdining.com/2013/11/21/product-review-trader-joes-cashew-meal/ I hope this helps.
Choclette
March 24, 2015 at 10:16 amThey sound wonderful and something I’d be happy to eat for breakfast – I maybe a chocoholic, but I don’t do sugar for breakfast. Do you think they’d work without the xanthan gum?
Sandi Gaertner
March 24, 2015 at 2:08 pmI can’t do sugar in the morning either. It wrecks my stomach….but later in the day, my sweet tooth is on fire. If you can’t use xanthan gum, it should be fine. These may be a little more crumbly, maybe a 2-3 teaspoons of flaxmeal would help.

Maria @ Box of Stolen Socks
July 21, 2014 at 12:22 pmWhat an amazing recipe!! I am going to make it for sure! I always try to minimize the amount of sugar in the everyday treats that I make and my sweetener of choice is definitely maple syrup! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!!!!

July 21, 2014 at 6:35 amThose ARE amazingly healthy, Sandi! That’s a very small amount of sweetener, and a great one at that. 🙂
