How do you make egg-free muffins?
I’ve been eating eggs again while I’ve been pregnant, but for the couple years prior I had stopped eating them. This recipe was born out of my desire to have something that felt like a bakery-made muffin, but in a way that I could enjoy it. I use coconut butter and applesauce to act as binders and give the texture and consistency of something baked with eggs. You’ll really enjoy these coffee cake muffins!
Can these coffee cake muffins be made nut-free?
YES! The only nuts used in this recipe are the pecans in the topping, which can easily be omitted to keep these muffins entirely nut-free! I opted for cassava flour, which is a great nut-free and gluten/grain-free baking flour.
Tips for baking with cassava flour
As mentioned, cassava flour is a great nut-free and gluten/grain-free baking flour! It is often touted as a 1:1 replacement for traditional wheat flour. However, I find it is a denser flour though. You definitely want to make sure to whisk the flour in the bag before measuring it out for any recipe. Otherwise, in this case, your muffins will turn out overly dense and not get the rise you want.
