I think Greek yogurt could definitely work! It might be a little more tangy and a little less sweet, but worth a try for sure. The teddy grams are my favorite part, though it is too bad they are too delicious not to bite their heads off…

I’ll definitely be making these soon, though I may try subbing greek yogurt for the applesauce. Think that’ll work? I love the teddy grams — super cute. Too bad I’ll be biting their heads off…

Hi Alyssa ~ I definitely think you could omit the flax — maybe use an egg instead to keep everything together. Let me know if you try them!

I would love to make these but I do not have any flax in the house. Can I use anything else? Maybe just skip it all together?

I made these and LOVED them- I omitted the grahams (can’t get them here ) and chocolate chips, but they turned out great! I also used an apple pear puree (all I could get). Oh, and subbed the flax- one batch, I used 1 egg, and the second batch used 2 egg whites. Couldn’t tell the difference but will use a whole egg from now on… I feel bad throwing away yolks!

Jessica ~ Awesome! I love the changes you made – butterscotch chips especially sound amazing. Thanks for checking back and letting me know – I really appreciate it

I keep forgetting to comment here.

I made these muffins a few weeks ago before a trip, for a healthy, filling snack for the plane.

The only change I made was using spelt flour instead of whole wheat and I added a tbsp of butterscotch chips on top of the chocolate and mixed half of both chips into the batter.

They turned out really, really great. I loved how dense and moist they were and although mine turned out a little flat (probably b/c of the spelt) they were still awesome. Thanks for the recipe, I’ll be making these again for sure.
