I froze a ton of fresh bluberries last week so they wouldn't spoil. So you think adding them in while frozen would work?

Yes, that should be fine.

There is no sugar or sweetener in this recipe. Is this correct?

# Posted By RK | 6/9/12 12:57 PM

I should have titled the muffins "GF and no added sweetener" as there is sugar from the blueberries, bananas, and coconut flour.

There is no added sweetener, but there is sugar from the coconut flour, banana, and blueberries.

I LOVE these muffins!!! My daughter does too! I make a batch and freeze them so I can have them whenever I want.

Thanks so much for posting that. It made my day! So glad you enjoyed them.

Love these muffins. I make them with all types of fruit-raspberries, blackberries, peaches, whatever I have. Thanks for this recipe!

My pleasure. You are so welcome!

These muffins are fantastic! I only had 5 eggs the first time I made these and they worked out fine. I've tried them with mixed berries as well instead of blueberries and they were amazing. Definitely the best coconut flour muffin recipe I've ever tried (thank you so much for posting it!).

How nice of you to say that. Thank you! I'm working on a new recipe that I hope to share soon.

I was excited about this one, as I'm new to cooking with coconut flour... But I have to say they turned out tasting like wet, eggy sponges.... Though I was careful to follow the recipe exactly, perhaps I did something wrong.

I've made these before with all types of fruit and recently tried them with vegan carob chips since I can't have chocolate. They were yummy.

# Posted By Lori | 11/26/12 10:46 AM

WOW! I am impressed. These are great! I modified the ingredients some...I skipped the salt, used regular veg. oil and did not have lemon zest and instead of mashed bananas used baby food jars of bananas. Thanks for sharing, these will become a staple in my house!

So happy this recipe is still receiving acclaim!

Thanks so much for posting this recipe. I just tried it and these muffins are delicious and very satisfying. I baked them in silicone muffin "tins". The muffins popped out pretty easily but parts of the bottoms, which were baked through but still quite moist, wanted to stay in the form. I suspect I need to bake them just a wee bit longer. That's what I will try next time. Thanks again, James!

Or drop a bit of coconut oil in them before filling. You're very welcome!

# Posted By Jimmy R | 1/27/13 3:54 AM

These were not good at all! No taste or flavor, the blueberries are better by themselves eaten right out of the container.

# Posted By Shannon | 2/5/13 11:24 AM

I don't have any coconut oil will this rescipe still work. Thank you

Does the recipe change for high altitude baking - I live in the mountains of Montana

# Posted By carmen w | 3/5/13 1:06 PM

Caroline, you will need some fat. Butter will do.

Carmen, how does altitude effect baking?

# Posted By Jimmy R | 3/5/13 1:56 PM

Can I make this in the form of a loaf instead of individual muffins?

# Posted By Danielle | 4/8/13 2:45 PM

You can, but it might be a challenge for the middle to to cook without the exterior becoming dry.

# Posted By Jimmy R | 4/8/13 3:45 PM

I followed the recipe exactly too and they turned out spongy. They weren't bad but spongy and kind of wet is exactly how I would describe them.
