This is a tasty recipe I substituted the coconut oil for olive oil and maple syrup for honey and it still tastes great! I will definitely keep this recipe it’s quick , healthy & tasty!

Nellie's

Ooooh! Those substitutions sound amazing! Thanks for trying this recipe, Jacqueline!

You do realize a cup of maple syrup costs about $4.00!

Nellie's

Hi Debbie, we realize that some ingredients are more difficult to come by, or might not fit in the budget, so we are always open to you making modifications as necessary. If maple syrup isn't available, you could try substituting with ingredients like honey or molasses. You may just have to adjust the quantity based on the sweetness of what you're using and will also want to note there may be a slight difference in the flavor of the muffins, since each sweetener has a slightly different flavor profile. Let us know if you give either of these a try. We'd love to hear how they come out!

What can I substitute for coconut oil? I’m allergic

Nellie's

Hi Veronica! You can try replacing the coconut oil with vegetable oil, avocado oil, or melted butter. All would be used in a 1:1 ratio with what's listed in the recipe for coconut oil. We hope you enjoy!
