Also, I always add pecans or walnuts.

My family loves these, they are awesome.
I substitute Agave for the  maple syrup and it works wonderful but I only use 4 tablespoons and they were perfect. I did try blueberries but my family likes the blackberries the best.
Some hints is use no more flour than it calls for and always melt the coconut oil.

Do you know what the calorie content of one of these would be?  I made them but now don’t want to try them until I know how many calories I’m consuming!  I subbed honey for the maple syrup….ugh..I hate counting calories, but sometimes that’s just what you have to do!  Ugh!

I’ve baked these and replaced the maple syrup for unrefined honey and they’re just delicious.

Could I bake this in a loaf pan as is or would I need to alter any ingredients?

Could you use honey or sugar in place of the maple syrup? Thanks!

I don’t see why not.  I think blueberries would be delicious!  Just so you know, these muffins are (purposelfully) not too sweet.  If you prefer your muffins sweeter, you should consider increasing the maple syrup.  For our family, though, they were perfectly sweet!  Hope you like them!
