Notes
- Bananas: make sure your bananas are nice and ripe. When the bananas are ripe, it makes the muffins extra sweet.
- Greek yoghurt: you can always use plain yoghurt, but if it has added sugar, then I would reduce the coconut sugar to half a cup. You can also use coconut yoghurt for a dairy free option.
- Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO): I love that EVOO oil does not have a strong taste in baked goods. It is also a healthy fat, unlike seed oils that have no nutrient value whatsoever. If you prefer to use coconut oil, that would be a good option too.
- Coconut sugar: I love using coconut sugar because it adds a subtle sweetness and it is unrefined. You could also use maple syrup. If you choose to use maple syrup, I would reduce the measurement to about half to 3/4 of a cup, as it is slightly sweeter than coconut sugar.
- Flours: I have loved baking with buckwheat flour as a gluten free flour. If you prefer another flour, I would suggest spelt, amaranth, coconut or tapioca flour.
- Eggs: if you prefer to use eggs, I would suggest swapping out the Greek yoghurt for it (one egg should do), or if you prefer to just add the eggs, you can do that too. It may just need some extra bake time.
- Additions: I love the muffins with just blueberries and banana, but if you are a chocolate person, you could also add choc chips or choc chunks. It adds more richness. However, if you love the fruity flavour of the banana and blueberries, skip this suggestion.
