Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these muffins gluten-free?
Yes, simply swap almond flour with coconut flour and adjust the liquid content accordingly. Note that coconut flour absorbs more liquid than almond flour, so you may need to add an extra egg or a splash of milk.
How do I ensure the muffins are cooked through?
Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin – if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, they’re done. Avoid overbaking, as this can dry out the muffins.
