Recipe Notes
- It won't work to substitute the coconut flour or the eggs--both are crucial for this recipe. However, you can swap out the tapioca flour for arrowroot or cassava flour. I haven't tried any other substitutions for this recipe so I can't vouch for any other changes.
- This recipe makes 12 mini muffins or 6 regular sized muffins. To make a dozen regular sized muffins make sure you double the recipe.
- You want to make sure to blend the batter well so use a stick blender, a regular blender or a food processor to combine the ingredients.
- These muffins will rise a little bit, but not as much as regular muffins will so you can fill them up almost to the top of the muffin liner, but leave a bit of room.
