Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. Can I use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour?
    Absolutely! However, since almond flour isn’t a direct substitute, you’ll need to adjust the quantity. Add an extra 1/2 cup of almond flour until the batter reaches the desired consistency.
  2. Which jelly did you use in this recipe?
    I used the Knott’s Berry Farm jelly. However, for a lower sugar option, try using my homemade chia seed jam recipe!
  3. Can I make these in regular muffin size instead of mini?
    Certainly! Just increase the bake time to 25-35 minutes. They’re ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
