Hi, can i replace 70g of coconut oil with 70g of butter for this recipe? I read in your other post, Banana Oat Muffins that we could do that.
Tash says
Yes, that would be perfectly fine 🙂
Katrin says
Been making them few times and absolutely love them. I love the texture and flavour is sooooo yummy
Astrid says
Can I freeze these?
Tash says
Yes 🙂 You can freeze them in an airtight container or in a resealable bag for up to 3 months.

Wlo says
Can I use frozen bananas instead?
Lucy says
Absolutely!
Judy says
Lovely recipe, thank you
Virginia says
Could you use a dairy free (coconut) yoghurt in replace of the Greek yoghurt?
TJ says
Wonderful recipe. Makes a nice moist muffin. I replaced the honey with coconut sugar and it was fine. The only thing I would suggest if you are making them for lunchboxes is to put all the choc chips in the mix and none on top. While that makes for pretty photos, it results in messy ziploc bags!
