In reply to Rita. That's great, so glad you like them! I haven't tried with Banana myself but it could probably work. You might just need to take out a bit of the liquid.

I baked these and they came out perfect, thanks a lot for the recipe. Can I add bananas in here?

Sooo glad I stumbled across these. I just finished making them and they are amazing!!! Mine didnt rise considering how much baking soda and baking powder went in… any way they are delicious perfect snack size chocolate cake treats I had plenty of batter left over I decided to put it into a loaf tin yummmo. I cant wait to try your other recipies and check out your page 🙂

Have you used avocado as a substitute for the oil and eggs?

I made these last night – super tasty! But they completely collapsed! Any suggestions to what I might have done wrong?

In reply to Naomi Macpherson. I would wait till its semi cool or you might risk scrambling the eggs.

In reply to Sarah. If you're using stevia extract not a stevia for baking you will probably only need 1 tsp to 1 tbsp. Brands vary, so I would just sweeten to taste.

Does the quinoa have to be completely cooled before you start mixing everything together?

Is the stevia granulated or powdered? 1 cup seems like a lot! Most of the recipes I’ve used only have a few tablespoons. Can I reduce the amount of stevia?

just put these in the oven! could this recipe still be used for non-chocolate muffins, like maybe a vanilla or spiced flavor?

In reply to Renee. Hi sorry, I wasn't getting my comments emailed for some reason and just saw this.Yes, you should be able to directly substitute the same amount of splenda. I hope you try them!

In reply to Michelle. Hi sorry, I wasn't getting my comments emailed for some reason and just saw this. Make sure your raw stevia was specifically for baking and measured cup for cup with sugar. If not, that would explain the extreme bitterness. It would have been way to sweet I imagine. As for coconut flour, I don't think it would work in this recipe. I find coconut flour very hard to work with and isn't easily swapped out for other flours or grains. Hope that helps!

Hi, I just made these with Raw Stevia which for baking (I think) and they are very bitter with a terrible after taste. Is there a substitute baking ingredient you have used? What about coconut flour? Thanks!!

Could I use splenda instead of stevia in this recipe, as that is what I have in the house?… and if so, should the amt be the same? Look forward to trying them!

These were so incredibly delicious!! Such an enjoyable texture. Definitely coming back to this recipe when I have another chocolate craving!

Baked these puppies tonight! I was craving something rich and chocolatey and these turned out exactly as you described! Rich, moist, great texture. I did however not have enough sweetener (and subbed lack of applesauce for butter). I used about 3/4 cup honey. Is there anything I can do now to fix these moist muffins?!

In reply to Jen. I'm so happy you love them! I love your idea adding the peanut butter....awesome!

Wowsers!!!! I cannot possibly describe how delicious these are! I gave up sugar four months ago and while I don’t really crave chocolate like I did before, I also forgot just how amazing it can truly be!!! These are fantastic! Thank you for this recipe.
I used honey instead of stevia, a half cup and it’s super sweet!
Dabbed a little homemade peanut butter in the middle of six of them…hopefully it turns out!

In reply to Kristine Fretwell. The recipe called for cooked grains. I would use my vitamix to blend but it's a pain to scrape the batter out. I love that your recipe doesn't require blending! I made your muffins yesterday and they turned out so yummy!
