Quick Gluten Free Coconut Muffins

These didn’t turn out well for me.  Very eggy.  I used honey and skipped the coconut shreds, added a few frozen raspberries on top….any suggestions?

Coconut flour expands a lot. You can read this to learn more about it: http://www.freecoconutrecipes.com/index.cfm/2013/10/23/how-to-use-coconut-flour-2

Doubled the recipe. Used SUBS
Instead of 6eggs used 2eggs and 4flax eggs
Agave instead of honey
1/4 tsp baking soda with 1/4cup butter milk instead of Baking Powder
Added 1/2cup frozen blueberries
   Made as a loaf cake since all muffin pans in use. :)
So darned amazing

I made these with coconut sugar instead of honey (kept it worth the dry ingredients), and put in a bit of ginger, allspice, and cinnamon.  I added a teaspoon of water to get the right consistency.  These are delicious!   They were happily unaffected by my using baking soda instead of powder by mistake.

Make a double or triple batch!  These are soooo yummy.  Did half with blueberries and half with chocolate chips.  They didn’t raise very well but my powder might be older.  Totally making these again!

Great recipe. I added GFCF soy free etc. mini chocolate chips as well as about 1/2 cup coconut to the batter instead of on top. Excellent. We doubled the recipe – made 12 muffins. Very good- we will be making this again!

Thank you. I added two mashed bananas, they turned out delicious!

This is my first attempt at gluten-free baking. I’m also egg-free at the moment so I used a mixture of chickpea flour and water (can also use flaxseeds simmered in hot water and cooled, OR mushed banana. I’ve baked with all of them.) These are good! I made them with the maple syrup, used baking soda instead of powder and added some cinnamon and cocoa powder just because. These are moist and tasty. Double batch next time.

I doubled the recipe, and for sweetener, used 1/3 cup chopped dates plus 2 tablespoons honey. Whirled the whole thing in the Blendtec so it was very smooth. Replaced coconut oil with softened butter and upped the shredded coconut to 1/4 cup. Using dates instead of all honey made it a more dense dough, so it was closer to a shortcake than a muffin. Very tasty! I’m happy to have something “bready” I can eat. If you like coconut you will certainly like this.

Does the coconut oil need to be heated up so it is in liquid form before adding it to the eggs?

I I had a mad urge to cook these lovely recipes in the evening when all shops were shut and I had no honey… I used sugar and a mashed banana and the texture came out beautifully.  Really moist and spongy.  I also had no gf baking powder (hard to get in Germany where I live) and used Locust bean gum (I think that’s the translation!) and the overall result was great! :-)

Can you have brown rice syrup? It would be difficult to take the syrup out as it’s a really important part in the recipe. Brown rice syrup sweetened with stevia or xylitol would work, but I don’t know about taking the syrup out.

Is there anything that can be substituted for the eggs in these recipes?  I would love to try all the muffins listed here (especially the pumpkin ones), but I have a sensitivity to eggs right now.

It should be added with the other wet ingredients. :)

Absolutley FANTASTIC! I made a double batch, and added about 1 tbsp ground cinnamon. Wonderful!! Kids gobbled them up in no time, and they rose beautifully.
