Thank you so much! What an amazing compliment! 😀❤️🙏 Hope you have wonderful holidays! ⭐️

Hello Tania, great question! I think more plant milk would be a great option. The muffins may come out slightly less moist, because you'll be missing out on the fat that the coconut milk provides, but the bananas should be enough that you won't miss it too much. As for the applesauce idea, it would certainly work, but I think it would probably be redundant, given the quantity of bananas in the recipe. I have one other tip, which is that when I open a can of full-fat coconut milk for a recipe like this, I pour the rest into an ice cube tray or silicone baking cups and freeze it in two-tablespoon or quarter-cup portions so that next time I need some, I can just defrost only what I need. Hope that's helpful! 😀

Thank you so much! It's my pleasure to share these recipes, it's my passion! Hope you enjoy it! 😀❤️

That sounds like a great date-night-in idea! 😁❤️ Thank you so much, hope you guys love it!! 😀🥰🙏

Thank you so much! 🥰 The pizza crust is a great idea, I love it! I bet you can make a few and freeze them for efficiency 😀❤️

Thank you! I can't wait to hear what you think 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you, Erin! Hope I get to make it for you sometime! 🥰❤️

Thank you so much, I'm really looking forward to hearing what you think! ❤️

Thanks so much, I'm so glad you liked it! 🥰❤️🙏

Thank you, Meg! I am so excited to share it with you! 🥰❤️

Thank you so much! I'm so excited for you to try it, too! ❤️🥰🙏

Thanks so much for your kind comment, Karen! Hope you love it! 😀❤️🙏

Great question, Judy! I'd rather see you substitute peanut butter in place of the almond butter, if you're looking for a peanut-y flavor, and then, if you don't have fig butter, I'd recommend substituting something else fruit-based, like applesauce or apple butter or pumpkin butter. You'll maintain the texture of the granola better that way, with a balance of what is essentially pureed fruit and pureed nuts, rather than going all the way over to entirely nut butters. Hope that's helpful! 😀

Thanks so much, I'm so glad you liked it! 🥰🙏❤️

I feel you on this! I've lived in places far without TJs too. The granola will still be super delicious if you use applesauce instead of fig butter. Hope you love it! 😀❤️

@@greensagelife I'm sure I will. I stopped eating cereals and granola, but I do miss them. Trying this week.

Thank you! I'm so excited my video found its way to you, and I'm *super* excited to share more, for the holidays and beyond... Thank you for being here for it! 😀❤️🙌🙏

This is a great comment, because I completely agree, the fig and date puree is already perfectly delicious before cooking, especially if your figs are at peak ripeness when you make this. I'm so thrilled you love it! ❤️

@@greensagelife Thank you for your kind reply. 😊

Thanks, Meg! I'd love to make you some! 😀❤️

Thank you, Charlie! 😀❤️🥰🙏

Ah this is a great question. I know dried figs are way more readily available than fresh. I have not tried this myself, but I would say yes, it's possible. Once reconstituted by soaking in hot water, dried figs should be soft enough to blend in the food processor (but I think it'll take time, like potentially overnight) and then you're basically removing the water again by cooking it down anyway, whether using fresh or dried figs. I think this will work. As for how many dried figs to use...my best guess is about half the weight. So since my Fig Butter recipe calls for 2 pounds of fresh figs, try 1 pound of dried, reconstituted, and go from there. Please let me know how it goes if you try this, I would love to hear about it! *However* if you want to try this granola recipe soon, you can totally substitute applesauce and 1 extra tsp cinnamon in place of fig butter, and it'll still be super yummy! 😀😀😀

Aww, thank you so much, that means the world to me! 💖🙏 Hope you'll give it a try! It's pretty simple! 😀❤️🥰

Thanks, Jaim! You're the sweetest ❤️ Are you gonna try it?

Thank you so much, Diane! This is a good question. I think a granola bar recipe would be significantly different, since it needs to hold together much more than granola. However, I do have a nice no-bake granola bar recipe that I would be happy to share with you! 😀❤️

Thank you so much, sweet Lani! I'm so glad you love them! 💚❤️

Yay, thank you! It's so easy to make, I think you'll be really surprised 😀❤️🙏

Thank you so much! Yes, you can freeze it, that's a great idea for longer-term storage. And I completely agree that this would make a wonderful holiday gift for friends and family! 😀❤🙌 Enjoy!!

Thanks so much, I hope you love it! 🥰❤️

Thank you, I'm so glad you love it 😀❤️

Thank you so much, what a kind compliment! I agree, it's perfect for fall. I hope you love it as much as I do 🥰❤️

Yay, thank you so much, Diane! Scones are a great idea with this fig butter. And I agree, it makes the whole house smell so good while it's cooking. Thanks for your sweet comment 🥰❤️🙏

Thank you so much for your kind, encouraging comment! I'm so glad you're enjoying this recipe and I love your creativity! I agree, the muffins very versatile, I often experiment with mix-ins too. Thanks again so much! 😀❤️🙏🥰

Thanks so much, Meg!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks Sam!! 😀❤️

So true! Thank you for your comment. Hope you love the recipe! Please report back when you make it! 😀❤️🍩

Thank you!! Ooh good question. I use about 2-3 tsp (a scant Tbsp) of JOI almond base for about 16 oz (2 cups) of water, and then I blend it up in my NutriBullet blender 🙂🙌 The jar of JOI is shelf stable so you can keep it in your pantry, but once you blend it into almond milk of course you'll need to store it in the refrigerator 🙂

Great question! Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 minutes. If you have any other questions about the recipe, scroll down in the description below the video and you'll see the full recipe there. Hope you love the donuts! 😀❤️🍩

Thank you! I'll be making them again soon for sure 😉❤️😘

Thank you so much! Next time I make them I'll save you one! 😀❤️😘

Thank you so much for the compliment! If you don't have canned pumpkin, you could substitute pureed sweet potato or pureed butternut squash in its place. Failing that, you could try applesauce, but if you go that route, I'd recommend finding some that's on the drier side (less watery), because sometimes applesauce has a higher liquid content and it could alter the consistency of the batter too much. As for the flours in the recipe and diabetes, I can tell you that these healthier donuts would be much better for a person living with diabetes than a traditional donut. That said, they should still be considered a special occasion treat, given that this recipe contains what we might consider to be "yellow light" foods like whole grain flours and pure maple syrup (as opposed to "green light" foods like whole fruits and vegetables, for example). Hope you enjoy the recipe!! 🙂

Thanks so much, Terry! I'm so excited for you to get your pan and try this recipe! 😀❤️ Hope you love the donuts! 🍩

Thank you so much for your kind compliment, Eileen! I'm so thrilled you enjoyed the video and hope you love the recipe! 🙂❤️🙏

Thanks Sam!! Hope you love it! 😀❤️

Yay! I'm so excited that you're excited! Thank you for your sweet comment, my sweet friend, please let me know how you like it!! 😀❤️🥰

Yay! So glad you think so 😉 It is possible to have both at once! 😀🙌❤

Yay! Hope you enjoy it! I love my Instant Pot too! 😆❤🙌

Thanks, Mom! Hope I get to make some for you again soon! 🥰😆❤️😘
