Chia seeds need to be soaked first before baking. These muffins came out just fine. First of all, I soaked my chia seeds in half cup applesauce to make the gel and used this gel instead of the butter called for. (soak for 5 minutes) No white sugar, just added half cup brown sugar only. Next time will try honey instead. Carrots and banana give it a moist texture but next time will try different ingredients. Great basic recipe for a healthy muffin. Love those chia seeds!
Really, really good! My husband loved them, too.
I used 3/4c honey instead of sugar, 1C applesauce instead of banana,1.5C of cranberries and ground them slightly in the food processor. I omitted the orange zest.
I made two batches in one week they were so good! The first time I made 12 regular-sized muffins but had enough batter to also make 2 mini loaves. The second time it made 45 mini muffins.
BEWARE- the batter is THICK. (like, want my husband to stir for me.)
I followed this recipe exactly except one tiny change. I used the pulp from juicing (carrot apple and orange) and it turned out incredibly delicious. Took them to work and everyone loved them. Thanks!!
Had to make a few mods... just used whole wheat flour used coconut oil instead of butter only the 1/2 cup of brown sugar used two little snack cups of unsweetened applesauce instead of the banana and had to use grated apple instead of carrot - they turned out great! This is my new fav muffin recipe. And you can definitely play around with adding other stuff too like nuts or seeds.
These were delicious! I left out the chia seeds but didn't change anything else.
Very tasty! I thought these would not be moist enough but they're fine. I used spelt flour and honey as the sweetener. Great muffins!
Great recipe. The kids loved them. The batter is very thick but it bakes up quite nicely. Didn't have any bananas so used applesauce instead and also substituted ground flax seeds for chia seeds.
I used a sweet potato instead of a banana and no chia seeds. Muffins turned out yummy.
I used coconut oil instead of butter....Love these and making my second batch now
It's hard to rate this recipe - I could tell the dough was very dry and I had no banana. Added 1.25 cups of OJ doubled the chia seeds and they turned out very well. Of course this means it's not the actual recipe!
