I know we have been saying this a lot lately (like we did with our new Chocolate Almond Oatmeal Protein Shake), but this is one of our new favorite recipes! Initially we made it for breakfast since Jim was getting a little sick of eggs, but soon discovered these tasted like a treat more than a breakfast food. (You can still eat them for breakfast if you want though.)
If you miss the crumby taste and texture of muffins laden with butter and unhealthy ingredients, you need to try these! Nothing that isn't healthy and gluten-free, these will be your go-to recipe for wowing guests and keeping your kids (and husband) happy!

How many servings does this recipe make?
ReplyDeleteIt makes 12 muffins, which is 6 servings at 2 muffins/serving.
DeleteI'm kind of sad. I made these tonight and I used a 12 muffin tin and the batter was almost over flowing. And even though I followed the recipe exactly they came out looking nothing like these. And they weren't like crumb cake at all. They taste great but I was expecting crumbly cakey muffins : ( wondering if you left out something in the recipe?
ReplyDeleteSarah,
DeleteThat makes me so sad! I double and triple-checked - this is the exact recipe that I used. I didn't leave anything out. Perhaps it is your brand of oat flour or coconut flour. It could be that some absorb more liquid than others... Not really sure!

Mine turned out great! Thanks! I didn't have Stevia (other than liquid) so I subbed in about 3/4 C of Xylitol. Turned out great -- even my husband liked them and he's a picky eater :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder how these would taste if I sub. with apples....hmmm decisions decisions
ReplyDeleteNatasha,
DeleteI think you could, but they may not be as moist since the blueberries tend to "burst" while cooking.
If you do apples, I would try adding 1/8 c of applesauce to the mixture as well.

Hello! Just had a quick question about this recipe. How did you come up with the macros on this recipe? I entered in all the info exactly as the recipe states on SparkPeople.com to see how much fiber and all the measurements were completely different. Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer,
DeleteWe used MFP, but that's why we stopped including macros with our recipes - everyone uses ingredients that are different (flours, protein powders, etc) and also different calculators. Unfortunately as a whole, they are very inaccurate.
Could you sub the oat flour for more coconut or even whole wheat? I don't have oat flour but I have coconut and whole wheat...
ReplyDeleteThe texture might be a little different, but you could certainly try it!
ReplyDeleteHi there - new to the website, but LOVE it! Is the 411 cal. count correct for the muffins?
