I just made these omitting the agave, just half cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup arrowroot instead of tapioca, added 1/2 c. mashed banana, 1 cup chopped apple, 1/2 cup chopped dates, 1/2. cup apple sauce, and a flax egg substitute. Yum. Truly delish!

Just made a batch of these, with the following changes…
Used 2 tbsp. chia seeds and didn’t grind them
Used 1 tbsp. cinnamon and added the same of ground ginger
Added 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
Omitted the agave and used 1/3 cup coconut palm sugar
Added 1/4 cup chopped dates
Used 2/3 cup oat flour and 1/3 cup brown rice flour
I also baked them at 375F for 26 mins. (I have a slow oven)
Mmmmmmm, thanks so much for this yummy recipe!

Hi Meghan, thanks for the recipe. I just made them, and they are still hot out of the oven. The batter was delicious, and they smell delicious, I can’t wait until they cool down to eat them. I used 1/4 cup maple syrup and no agave, and I used grapeseed oil because we just ran out of olive oil.

I bake a batch of these every 3 weeks or so for my 13 month old snacks. (He’s been snacking on these since he was about 10 months old). I’m keeping him away from gluten until he’s older, since I have a gluten intolerance. I use butternut instead of pumpkin (cheaper), and flax instead of egg, and skip the agave so they’re not quite so packed with sugar. Then I make small muffins and freeze them, and pull one out per two days or so for when he needs a finger-food type snack. He LOVES them. Seriously, he requests them specifically. He’ll march over to the fridge, and when I open it he’ll point right to the container that has his muffin in it (I don’t always give in of course, they’ve still got quite a bit of sugar!). Thanks for a great recipe for a convenient snack that I feel comfortable feeding my little man!

[...] I followed a recipe from Meghan‘s Every Day Superfoods Tutorial again, but a very similar recipe (minus the spirulina) can be found on her blog: Chia Pumpkin Muffins. [...]

I just made these and they are SO yummy! The only change I had to make was to bake them for a total of 28 minutes.

Tova is the secret ingredient and glad that you Meaghan have found her. We, her family in Ottawa, have known of the existence of this secret ingredient for x years – will not divulge of course. Glad to finally meet you in pics. Good luck the two of you as you close 2009 and plan for amazing things in 2010. Sandra. 10/4
