Notes

Unfortunately, you cannot sub in any other flour for this specific recipe. Other gluten-free flours usually require less moisture.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also place these muffins in a freezer bag and stick them in your freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to eat them take them out and let them thaw completely before chowing down.
Coconut flour is very absorbent so you need to really stick to the exact measurement when making this recipe. It's best to measure this flour by weight and not by volume.
How can the kids help?
  • No matter how old they are most kids can line a muffin tin with muffin cup liners. Coming from a former teacher, this is also a great fine motor activity to help with the muscles in their hands ;)
  • Have your kiddos help measure out all the ingredients before adding them to the mixing bowls. A great math activity!
  • They can also help you whisk the ingredients together and fold in the chocolate chips or add-in of your choice.
