I literally got stuck in my sports bra yesterday. STUCK. I had a certain hair-do going on yesterday and didn’t want to mess it up. Meaning a messy bun that I was about to run in. But, you know how it goes. Don’t ever mess up the perfect bun. Whatever. So I put it over my head first, then tried to get my arms through it. One went through, the other one had a much tougher time. It took me at least 4 minutes to get my other arm through. I started to have a panic attack, sweat emerged, and had to talk myself through it. I got through it. The sports bra made weird sounds. Lululemon has some snug stuff.
So the other day, before I headed off to South Dakota, I grabbed my comforter that had been stuffed into the trunk of multiple cars because of camping, to take with me to keep me snuggly warm while traveling. Well, once I picked it up, stuffing fell out of it. I should explain that this comforter has been with me since my freshmen year of college and it was a bit cheap. BUT, stuffing was never falling out of it. So I tried to figure out why the hell it was dying on me. And I came to find out some sort of greenish stain that was eating away at the comforter. How creepy is that? What do you think it was? I had to throw her away so I wouldn’t get die of a flesh eating virus. Sad day in comforter land.
Why does the Bachelorette suck so much more than the Bachelor? Well, they both kind of suck. But the Bachelorette is extremely boring to watch. But I still seem to have a girls night every Monday to watch it. Even when it’s the men tell all episode. Which is the worst episode of all since the bros really have nothing to tell. Would you be on that show? My best friend tried out. I want her to get on it so I like the show more. But I’m selfish. And it seems like it may be completely awful to be there. How can someone take 6 weeks off of work to be on a fake dating show? It’s just so confusing.
Wow. I obviously don’t have much to talk about today. I do have some muffins to talk about though. Even though I thought my muffins were delicious, I thought some muffins I tried yesterday topped mine. They’re called Nourishe and they have chocolate ginger macadamia muffins and and cinnamon raisin pecan muffins. Both are awesome. Check them out here. And try mine in the meantime. DUH!

Will peanut butter be ok? I have nothing else in the house :/ will be the smooth one. Thanks
I just bought some sunflower seed butter at Trader Joe’s and I’m debating returning it on account of the fact it has added sugar in it (booo). Then I saw your recipe, which I totally want to try! Debating between trying the muffins with the Sunflower butter, or try it with almond butter…..
Thoughts????
you could try it with almond butter as well!! I use maranatha sunflower seed butter because it’s the only one i can find without sugar in it
I can’t have chocolate right now. Do you think subbing raisins or blueberries could work? Or just not worth it?
I went through the whole “dough-y” thing too. Threw an egg in, maybe 1/3 cup of coconut milk I had in the fridge, 1 tbsp of grapeseed oil, and voila! Slid right out of the pan, no prob. Although I feel like replacing some of that with banana would be FANTASTIC. My protein powder didn’t add much sweetness, so I cut up some banana slices and alternated bites. 😉 Thanks for posting a nut free baking product! I feel like I get enough almonds everywhere else!
Do you think I can sub in a veggie protein powder instead of whey? I have chocolate plant fusion.
I think so, I’ve just never used veggie protein powder
These look amazing but I’m allergic to eggs, would a few cups of applesauce do the trick?
I don’t know about a few cups, that may be too wet in the ingredients but some might work
I large egg is about 1/4 cup. try it with a little less at first may 2/3 cup instead of 3/4 cup.
I made these last night, but had to finish my cup of almond butter wit Jif mocha hazelnut spread. They turned out! I will be looking for the sunflower seed butter, or will try to keep more almond butter on hand! Yum!
So can I sub protein powdr for any recipe calling for coconut flour if I want to make it a “protein” treat? Or wil it only work in the recipes using nut/seed butters?
Not always, especially if its the main binding component but a few you should be
