Marvellous muffins! I halved the recipe to yield 6 texan size muffins. Substituted my own GF flour mix (brown rice/quinoa/tapioca), macadamia nut oil, cacao powder and reduced brown sugar to 70g . Organic ingredients where possible. Thank you to the DH team!

Wow, these muffins were so scrumptious! Teen boys devoured them, which is a win win! Followed recipe to the T, perfect

These muffins are amazing. Great way to use up a lot of over ripe bananas. Have made several times now, always moist and always a hit. Have made with cows milk instead of coconut milk when had none on hand and still worked well.
