After many failed pumpkin muffin attempts I finally realized the problem… I just don’t really love pumpkin. My desire for a delicious muffin did not however, go away. I find breakfast to be a real challenge lately as I am getting bored of the same old smoothie/oatmeal/toast situation. I wanted a muffin that truly felt breakfast-y. No chocolate, not too sweet, maybe a little healthier tasting, and packed with fruit. I love having a muffin breakfast bowl filled with yogurt, ground flax seeds, fresh fruit, and a chopped up muffin. Delicious! Doesn’t get easier with 1 bowl, and did I mention no added oil? Enjoy!

Hi!! Would these still work well if I subbed in a flax or chia egg for the chicken eggs?
I haven’t personally tried but I don’t see why not!
Hello! Can I sub the buckwheat flour for oat or coconut flour?
Not coconut flour, but oat flour yes!
Hi there, what could be used to substitute the buckwheat flour?
Thanks!
More almond flour, spelt, or oat flour!
Hello there! Thank you for posting a recipe that actually sounds manageable for a novice baker interested in clean eating! For those of us who are watching sugar intake, is there something you would recommend in place of the pure maple syrup?
If your bananas are ripe enough, you can totally leave it out!
Hi! Can I replace the almond flour with less coconut flour or oat flour? Don’t have almond flour on hand. Thanks!
Haven’t tried but it should work!
Is there something i can substitute the almond flour with??
If it’s an allergy you can make your own flour using sunflower or pumpkin seeds in blender or food processor! Xo
Hi Jen! As usual your recipes are easy and amazing! Love how direct and simple the steps are, and one bowl!! I swapped the maple syrup for applesauce for my 9mth old! I’ll see how they turn out!
Question, if storing in an airtight Tupperware-on counter or in fridge? I read that storing on counter is recommended then in freezer ? Thoughts? Thx
If I plan on freezing, I freeze right away while they are fresh!
Otherwise I keep them in an airtight container in the fridge. I find this works best at keeping almond flour fresh. Hope this helps! Xo
