Could I use apple sauce for the Maple syrup? If so what liquid would I need to cut back on? And how much apple sauce do I use.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.

I feel that 7 eggs is a lot as well, so I used 4 eggs and then used 3 egg whites and it still came out moist and tasted sweet.

Could you substitue flax or something for a portion of the eggs? 7 is a lot.

These are REALLY good!  I substituted 1/4 cup of ground flaxseeds for 1/4 cup of the coconut flour and they came out GREAT!

Where do you find coconut flour?

That’s the correct amount. Most coconut flour recipes will have a lot of eggs to make up for the lost gluten.

I was just checking to make sure the number of eggs is correct.  Seven eggs in one recipe of muffins sounds excessive.

I made this recipe this morning and it was delicious.  I used coconut nectar instead of maple syrup because I didn’t have any and it was knock-out good.

We’re living a low carb lifestyle, I went ahead and made these this morning. Swapped out the maple syrup and used Stevia in the Raw(about 1/2 c and knocked off about 5 grams carbohydrates) and didn’t have fresh lemons. Instead I used a 1/8tsp imitation lemon extract. They were PERFECT! I’ve made several things with coconut flour and have never liked how eggy or dense the baked goods come out. I chose to use the hand mixer this time and was amazed at the texture! Everyone loved them, will have to make more next time!!

Wow, 7 eggs, can’t quite understand that.  Please tell me it is a typo!
