like a champ.
For items that are going to be in the oven longer than cookies,
like muffins or cakes, I also add a little moisture (maybe an extra 2 Tbsp per
cup), to counteract the drying effect
of the extra time things have to spend in the oven to finish cooking at high altitude (lower boiling point, and all that).
Your
muffin cups sound
like the perfect breakfast, any time
of the day!
I tried making them today... and I must have done something wrong because even though the flavor was great, but they were TOO moist and couldn't come out

UPDATE May 2017: The original recipe below remains an EXCELLENT recipe, however by adding 1/2

-- Soy or Rice / Quinoa milk instead
of Almond milk — Canned 100 % Pure Pumpkin instead
of the bananas — Substitute whole oats for some
of the flour — Add freshly ground flaxseed and chopped nuts (I
like pecans)-- Bake in
muffin tins instead
of a loaf (usually takes about 20 - 25 minutes at 350 F, I make these weekly for school snacks and they're the bomb)-- Reduce sugar to 1/2
cup for more
of a snack and less
of a dessert — If I'm in a hurry, I just do 6 T boiling water and 3 T cocoa powder and just mix it into the whole thing!

It may seem
like a lot
of almond pulp — one packed

cup of chopped nuts to a
muffin recipe.
Drain the green chiles and cut up if you're using the whole chiles
