From my experience, oat flour yields a slightly dense texture that’s ideal for pie crusts but not so much for muffins. Muffins made with only oat flour might be crumbly and not so fluffy.

You should substitute 1/8 cup of coconut flour for the almond flour. Since coconut flour is highly absorbent, add one egg and a tablespoon of milk to the recipe. The finished batter should have a dropping consistency. Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!
I love the sound of the recipe, can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour!

I am happy to hear that that you find this recipe useful. Thanks, Julia!

Dates soaked in warm water and ground together (or date paste) is an excellent substitute for date sugar. Since you used date paste, I’m sure there was no need for adding milk. Thank you for your feedback! I am happy that you loved the recipe.

If you used a medium or small cookie scoop, then you probably would have to add more batter to the baking cups. I used a large cookie scoop so the muffins did not stay as balls when they were baked. Additionally, in my recipe, I added some milk to give it a dropping consistency which helps with the final shape of the muffins. Hope this helps.
