These were amazing! The ONLY change I made was adding an extra cup of fresh blueberries since I had them. The muffins were moist and very flavorful. The 1/4 tsp of cloves was a very nice touch!

Can you provide the nutrition values per muffin?

I bought your garbanzo bean flour and used this recipe on the back — came here to add it to myfitnesspal — but on the package there’s no baking powder listed, only 1 tsp of baking soda. I made them today and they’re delicious (I did add vanilla extract), but they didn’t rise much above the pan (I’m used to that with alt flours). Maybe adjust the package or this recipe to be the same — or will it just result in a fluffier muffin? Again, mine were good, but rustically dense in a good way, but just curious as to which version is intended.

I did not have enough apple sauce so I had to make all the cups, tsp & tbsp equivalent to 1/2. Either way Delicious!

Delicious! I didn’t have coconut sugar so used light brown instead. Even better with some grated orange zest in the batter. The texture is a little dense, so they make a substantial snack. Thanks for this recipe!

Would really find it helpful if these recipes were printable and therefore usable. Some of us still do not iPad in the kitchen.
