I did a lot of tweaking: The following amounts are due to I doubled the recipe, substituted four whole eggs for the egg whites, 1/2 C tigernut flour, 1/2 C hazelnut flour, 1C almond flour, 1C cassava flour, for all the flour. 1 C barberries for raisins Added one tsp salt Added tsp cloves Old plain whole milk yogurt with a couple tbs almond milk for buttermilk All vanilla extract, last time did combo of vanilla and anise (I don’t love the flavor of banana, though I do use the 2 bananas in the recipe) This is a very tweakable recipe! I had COVID, then afterwards Parkinson’s diagnosis. These muffins really help encourage movement! Lol
