Hello! Very interesting recipe! Can I substitute peanut butter with somethinng else?
Yes nut or any seed butters x
It’s not meant to be really dry. No not like flax egg. Make sure the bananas are over ripe and measure out the banana x
Two tablespoons of vanilla extract seems like far too much… do you mean two teaspoons?
As says. 2 tablespoons.
These are in the oven now but I had the same experience as another person; the mixture was like a thick dough. I think your measurements may be off.
The recipe is to the tee. If you follow it correctly, your muffins will turn out perfectly. Ensure you weigh all ingredients. X
I used brown flaxseed meal does it matter if it is brown or golden? I also used rolled oats instead of quick oats, does this make a big difference?
No problem at all Cara. You can use either. I have tried both and the recipe still turns out fine.

I’m not familiar with “self rising flour”- is regular white all purpose flour okay?
yes all purpose is fine to use as well.
Is it ok to omit the flaxseed meal? Or a substitute? Would really love to try out this recipe for my baby.
Should still work without flaxseed. Let me know how you go?! X
