Can I make a request for a lemon poppy seed muffin??? My son loves them, but I have not found a clean version!!!
My bad, I just did a search here and you have lemon muffins. I will just add poppy seeds!!! So excited!!!
. All you would have to do is add 1-2 tbsp. poppy seeds!
Erin – I found this on the web – Make the coconut yogurt yourself out of coconut milk, tapioca starch (to thicken) and non-dairy, non-soy starter (from GIPro).
What about adding 1/2 cup pecans? Would that throw out the balance? I have a large pecan tree in front yard, always looking for ways to use those nuts! LOL.
I just tried this recipe last night. Had a huge zucchini from a friend’s garden and used half of it to make TWO loaves! This loaf is extra good the next day — thank you for the recipe! Any suggestions on swapping out the zucchini for pumpkin?
Just made this and it was Delish! I added walnuts on top for a little crunch….Thanks so much for the recipe!
Can I sub whole wheat pastry flour for the whole wheat flour?
can i use white flour without affecting the recipe? I cant use whole wheat flour.
Oh, wow. This recipe was fantastic! I made mine into muffins and baked for 20 minutes. They were perfect. They were really light and fluffy.
I know this may sound strange but what can I substitute the applesauce for? My kids actually have an allergy to apples. Is it used in place of oil? If so, how much should I substitute?
