FAQs

Q: Can I use butter instead of coconut oil?

Q: Can I make these muffins gluten-free?
A: Yes. Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend to replace the all-purpose flour.

Q: How ripe should the bananas be?
A: Very ripe is best — brown spots and soft flesh give more banana flavor.

Q: Can I make the batter the night before?
A: You can mix dry and wet parts separately and combine in the morning, but do not add baking soda until you bake.

Q: Can I reduce the maple syrup?
A: You can use a little less, but the muffins will be less sweet and denser. Adjust to taste.
