High Protein/Lo Carbers...Recipes and info

I buy the certified organic extra virgin cold pressed coconut oil, and I buy my coconut in bulk and get the certified organic chips or shredded whichever has a sale on usually.

Do you not like the taste of the coconut oil or is there something else?

As for changing the recipe I'm not sure what to tell you except experiment and see what works best for you. I don't think you will be able to get away with using less eggs if you are going to use coconut flour as the sole flour. Generally speaking with coconut flour you want the amount of flour and the liquid or wet item to be about the same in proportion so that things are moist but still light enough to rise. In this case, the pumpkin puree is the wet item and as you can see it is in the same proportion as the flour. You can try adding more but I am guessing it will make a too thin batter...but I am also a strong believer in adjusting recipes to suit one's personal tastes, so give it a try and let us know how they turn out. You might even try adding a little pumpkin extract.

I am not a fan of canned pumpkin, so I am going to buy a small pumpkin since they are in season and make the puree myself. I am thinking that will be more flavorful? What do you think?

The recipe- sounds good. My thing is-- I've made about 2 batches of "pumpkin" muffins, but feel 1/2 cup of pumpkin is just NOT enough. So why do most recipes only call for small amounts? Do you think if I added more pumpkin, that I would have to use less eggs? Any suggestions.
