solutions/suggestions if I used to be to make use of coconut or quinoa flour?

I believe you could possibly use 1 1/2 cups quinoa flour and they’d come out fantastic, however not 100% optimistic. Should you go along with coconut flour, strive utilizing 1/2-3/4 cup and growing the eggs to 2. I’m actually not optimistic if coconut flour would work in any respect.

  I’m with you on the coconut flour – I haven’t had nice success with Coconut flour and I discover it normally requires a large number of eggs.
  As for Quinoa flour I’ve used it 1 for 1 in lots of recipes and all went properly. Yap 1 1/2 cups flour – quinoa works

A wholesome muffin that appears this good sounds unbelievable!! I’m all in!

May a mixture of sorghum, rice, and almond flours and tapioca starch be used as one other (aside from the recommended almond flour alone) gluten-free substitute for the wheat flour? Wouldn’t it be really helpful to additionally add xanthan gum? (I exploit these components fairly steadily in all of my GF baking/cooking.)

As well as, would substituting stevia or maple syrup for the powdered sugar work in forming the glaze?

Made this yesterday with a number of substitutes as I didn’t have a bunch of issues. I used to be a bit anxious however they turned out to be one of the best rattling muffins. Like simply accessible excellent bites of carrot cake.

I Swapped the applesauce for mashed banana. Swapped the milk for home made Greek honey yoghurt. Added the sultanas and toasted coconut.

For sugar, I used a couple of tablespoon of maple syrup (final of the bottle) and 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar. With the mashed, ripe banana and the honey within the yoghurt it was a lot candy sufficient!

I additionally used a mixture of wholewheat and white flour (approx ratio complete:white is 40:60).

Closing change I made was including a bunch of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the cream cheese glazing (and omitting the vanilla extract right here). I solely used 1 tsp of milk then thought of including lemon juice.

Subsequent time we agreed it might do with even stronger lemon flavour so we are going to strive including lemon zest as properly.

I’m glad these swaps labored out properly! Excellent snack
