…without peanut butter. Obviously. Fair warning: I think these are great when made with sunflower seed butter, but they’ll be green. No joke. Chemistry wins again. So I just used chunky almond butter.
I used my Roasted Strawberry Jam in these but any Paleo-friendly (or not…I won’t tell) jelly or jam is fine!

Instructions

These are awesome! I made them with one tsp of ginger jam per muffin, came out great!
Thanks so much Sofia!
Can’t wait to make these this week!! Yummo. Always looking for ways to get almond butter in things and not by itself…have some strawberry jam that will be delish!
These look awesome. I may even get my boys to eat them!
Calls for honey in instructions but not in ingredient list. How much? Making now and can’t wait to try!!!
Oops! It should be 2-3 Tablespoons as an optional ingredient!
It says beat the eggs and egg whites….are there supposed to be a different amount of egg whites from the yolks? Or is it just beat the 6 eggs first?
No worries…I’m just an idiot. I fixed the instructions…since a lot of my muffin recipes do have egg whites I’m sort of on autopilot!
Just made these! Fantastic!
Thank you so much for the recipe. Now I have to figure out how to NOT eat them all at once.

I’m a bit confused, but I really want to make these! The instructions don’t mention anything about the applesauce listed in the ingredients…is it needed?
Thanks so much!
Sorry about that…fixed now!
Thank you for the quick response!
I can’t wait to try these!
Yum! My two year old and I made these today. Next time I will put in closer to two teaspoons of jam because the jam was (obviously) the best part and I used less than a teaspoon in each. I didn’t use honey, but I don’t think you need any unless you don’t add enough jam.
Can someone explain the color with the sunflower seed butter? I made some sunflower butter/ banana muffins and I was shocked with the color they turned!
it’s a chemical reaction with the baking soda. The taste will be great though!
Will almond flour work?
Not exclusively…coconut flour absorbs a lot more liquid and gives a much different texture…
These look so good! Would grinding up old-fashioned oats work as a substitute for coconut flour? Also, what is the calorie count for one muffin? ThanQ in advance
