[@otterkhaos]

I have made this recipe 5 or 6 times, and each time I add a twist based on what I have at home and it never fails to be amazing! I've made them with chopped dates instead of the choc. chips, adding orange peel powder, with carob chips, and with additional nuts/seeds. This video is the perfect step-by-step accompaniment to the website content! Thank you Stefanie!!!

Looks delicious! What can I substitute coconut milk with? I don't like coconut.

[@greensagelife]

Great question, Janet! Thanks for asking. First, let me reassure you that if it's entirely the flavor of coconut that's giving you hesitation, you don't taste it at all, so you may be OK with the recipe as written. The reason it's there is because it's a higher-fat ingredient, so it helps keep the muffins moist (in place of the fat from oil or an egg like a traditional muffin recipe would have). But if you really want to replace it, I'd recommend choosing another higher-fat ingredient, such as a nut butter (almond butter would be a nice choice) or a homemade cashew cream (soak raw cashews to soften them, and then once they're soft, drain them and blend with just a little bit of water until smooth). If you opt for the nut butter, then you'll almost definitely need to also add more almond milk to the batter, since it won't be as liquid that way, to achieve the batter consistency we're going for. Good luck! Hope you love the muffins! 😀

Is recipe written out somewhere?

[@greensagelife]

Hello June! Thanks for your interest in the recipe, I'm so happy you're inspired to make these! Yes, I've linked the full recipe writeup in the video description, but here's the link just so you have it: www.greensagelife.com/blog/banana-chocolate-chip-muffins Please let me know how it goes!

[@taniaallan5702]

Do you think using apple sauce in place of coconut milk, or just more plant milk would work? Thinking of ways to avoid opening a whole can for 1/4 cup 🙂

[@greensagelife]

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! 😀
