    Yum! Thanks for sharing.

    Do you think they'd make good savory muffins, minus the AS and adding in herbs, cheese, meat, etc? Thanks again.

    how can y'all afford that much almond flour?? Here a small maybe 10-12 oz. bag is $10-$15!!! Coconut oil and flax seed flour are 1/3 of that price...

    I know, Carly. That's what's kept me from using it. We have no Trader Joe's the cheapest I've found is at Vitacost and them's expensive muffins!

    Is there a Costco near you? I've gotten almond flour there for about $8/pound.

    I think AF was $8. pound at Safeway,,in the bins, it's marked as Bobs red mill

    Adding coconut flour to recipes I have found gives a dense, wet, not tasty result. tried to add it to a cauliflower pizza crust recipe, and it was a real fail..didn't bake dry enough.

    will try again, it absorbs all fluids instantly, so adding more 'wet' doesn't help.

    Already home and baking after surgery? YAY! You must be on the mend and feeling better!

    I got home last Tuesday. By Saturday I was feeling pretty human. Still a little sore if I move around too much and I tire easily, but other than that I am good!

    I didn't really think about it. These muffins are so good, it is totally worth it!

    Thanks for sharing this. Yes, almond flour is expensive, but there are sales. Also, it's cheaper than my trips to the convenience store used to be each morning.

    1/3 cup of liquid sweetener? The sweetener I have doesn't even have that much in the container. What am I missing here?

    Pretty sure that is for whatever equals a third cup of sugar for you.

    I put it in recipes using powdered splenda and salted butter. I divided it by 12 servings and this is what I got.

    Would ground almonds substitute for almond flour? I've never seen almond flour in shops here, but you can easily get ground almonds which have a crumb-like texture.

    Yes, they are basically the same.

    Nope. I got a 22oz bag for 11.99 at Vitacost. That's 8.72ish/lb. None of the local groceries have it even close to that. I haven't tried Walmart yet. Their site has it for $9/lb. Amazon is about the same. We just don't have a lot of demand for it in the South. There is one crunchy grocery the next town. If I get the chance, I'll check it out sometime and see.

    I haven't bought almonds in awhile. How much are they running a pound now?

    I may be wrong on the Safeway bin cost of almond meal…a alb bag of Bob's Red Mill almond flour was $12.14 at the CHEAPEST store in town…but this is for a GOOD CAUSE..just to have a 'bread' type food would be lovely!

    I am so excited to make these..and I will add hempseed flour to see if it can partially replace the almond ..I got a bargain on 2 lb bags of hempseed hulls only- -for $7.99…cheap!
