  I haven't made these yet, but just an observation, candied ginger is ginger coated in sugar. These are not sugarless. They may have less sugar than some recipes, but candied ginger does not stand in for sugar, it is sugar and spice. - 5/15/13

  These sound SO GOOD, even though I can't do grains. Luckily, I can swap out the wheat flour for 1/2 c. coconut flour and the oat flour for almond flour and still enjoy these muffins. I love the idea of using candied ginger instead of sugar! I'm definitely making these this weekend. - 5/15/12

  I had a hard time with some muffins having tons of ginger chunks and then some having none, making it not very sweet. I was thinking next time I make these to swap the bananas for pumpkin puree, but I'm not sure what the correct measurement would be for that. Any clues? - 6/5/12

  Use 3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree, but swapping the banana will affect the sweetness.

  Candied ginger can be bought in the grocery store. Otherwise, Trader Joe's has a large variety to choose from. - 5/15/12

  I swapped the flour for brown rice flour for my gluten free friend, and used oatmeal since I didn't have oat flour. Turned out really well! - 6/10/13

  Why doesn't the ingredients reflect the candied ginger for sugar content? - 5/15/12

  First time I made these I noticed that the ginger was really overpowering. I cut it back to half. This allowed the taste to blend with the other flavors. Overall a good recipe! - 9/9/19

  I love this recipe - so tasty and the candied ginger gives it a little zip. I used almond flour instead of coconut flour and added some chia seeds for more fiber. I scooped out the batter with an ice cream scoop. The muffins tasted great! - 2/2/19

  For the person who asked - these are called "chai" spiced, which is a mixture of spices like cloves and allspice used in things like chai tea. You are referring to "chia", which is a seed. Not the same thing. - 8/16/16
