  • For added texture, consider folding in some walnuts or pecans into the batter.

FAQs

1. Can I use regular flour instead of gluten-free flour?
Yes, if you are not concerned about gluten, you can use all-purpose flour instead of gluten-free flour.

2. Can I use a different sweetener?
Absolutely! You can substitute coconut sugar with brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey. Just adjust the liquid ingredients accordingly if you use a liquid sweetener.

3. How do I know when the muffins are done baking?
The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached. If it’s wet with batter, they need a bit more time in the oven.
