Nancy – I put all of the ingredients into my calorie counter software (I too am looking to shed a few pounds!) and making 12 muffins, they came out to:
206 calories each
11g fat (8g saturated)
25g carbs (3g fiber)
5g protein

I’ve got my flour soaking now…. can’t wait to bake the muffins (and eat them!)

Nancy – I measure mine in solid form and then melt it. So you did it just right – I never measure it when it is melted. However, it is flexible – so you would have been fine regardless.

As to the calories, I do not know. I never count calories. You could probably find an online calculator – input the ingredients and divide the total calorie count by 12 (if you yielded 12 muffins?).

I’m glad you enjoyed them!

I made the muffins tonight and they are delicious. However, I have a few questions.

I purchased coconut oil in solid form. I measured 1/2 a cup of solid coconut oil in a dry measuring cup and melted the oil as the recipe instructs before adding it to the egg/sugar mixture. When I measured the melted oil it was over 1/2 a cup (between 1/2 and 2/3). I placed all of the melted coconut oil to the egg/sugar mixture. Is that correct?

I am attempting to eat more nutrient dense foods (such as these muffins). However, I am working on reducing my weight by 30 pounds so my calorie intake is also important. How many calories are in one muffin with no add-ins?

Thanks for your help.

I just wanted to leave a follow-up comment that this recipe was fantastic! I soaked with a combo of kefir/yogurt and added a bit of water (to replace the vinegar liquid). Also, I upped the sucanat slightly as you suggested. They were so delicious and were great the first and second day. The ones I froze (immediately) were a bit crumbly when we used them, so I won’t be making tons to freeze, but will definitely use this recipe again! Also, doubling it and using the Bosch to mix is much easier than stirring by hand. My kids watched your muffin tutorial yesterday and loved it.

Anjanette – Definitely! You could also use whey, yogurt, kefir, or buttermilk, as long as they have active cultures.
