Notes

*You can not let Coconut flour sit long, as soon as you mix this batter, ensure you put it right into the oven *If you want chocolate muffins, you can add between 1/4 - 1/2 cup of cocoa powder to your taste liking *You can store these in an airtight container for 3 days *You can substitute the butter with Coconut Oil but I haven't tested it and 8 tablespoons would probably be too oily. If you do test it, start with half and please let me know how it worked.
