Bestanddele en vervangings
You only need a handful of simple ingredients for this recipe. Here’s how to pick them.

- Meeldoelige meel – This provides the structure for the muffins. Don’t swap it for coconut flour or almond flour, it wouldn’t work. For a gluten-free version, use my glutenvrye omskakelingsgids.
- Onversoete Kakaopoeier – This adds a subtle chocolate flavor and the characteristic red velvet color.
- Bakpoeier – This helps the muffins rise and become light and fluffy.
- Suiker – This sweetens the muffins. Any crystal sweetener, including erythritol or coconut sugar, also works.
- Amandelmelk – This adds moisture and richness to the muffins. Oat milk or soy milk also work.
- Ligte olyfolie – This contributes to the moistness of the muffins. Canola oil also works.
- Appelasyn – This reacts with the baking powder to create a soft and tender crumb. Lemon juice or white vinegar also work.
- Vanielje-ekstrak – This adds a warm, sweet flavor that complements the other ingredients.
- Liquid Red Food Coloring – This provides the signature red color. Paste food coloring, beetroot powder, or pitaya powder also work.
- Wit Sjokoladeskyfies – These add a sweet, creamy contrast to the red velvet flavor. If you them, increase the sugar to 1 cup.

Let me share a few more tips for perfect muffins (or cupcakes, you can choose!).
- Cupcake Conversion – Skip the chocolate chips and top with my dairy-free frosting to create red velvet cupcakes.
- Suiker Alternatiewe – Use coconut sugar or unrefined cane sugar for a refined sugar-free option.
- Natuurlike kleur – You can use beetroot or pitaya powder for a natural red hue, though it may not be as vibrant.
- Koeltyd – Allow the muffins to cool completely on a wire rack before serving to ensure they are firm.
- Ingredient Temperature – Use room-temperature almond milk and olive oil for better batter consistency.
- Center Rack Baking – Bake the muffins on the center rack of the oven for even heat distribution.







I think it’s a typo in the Instructions #2 says to add in coconut powder?
Look forward to trying these!
Thanks for spotting my mistake, it’s supposed to say cocoa powder. I updated the recipe.
Would this work with Green Banana Flour? I also have coconut milk in place of almond milk.
I never baked with this kind of flour before, I am not sure what is the ratio to use it as a swap to all-purpose flour.
According to the Let’s Do Organic brand, you use 25% less green banana flour for one cup of wheat flour. I guess to be on the safe side, I’ll stick to all-purpose flour for this recipe.
Oh that’s interesting, thanks for sharing with me. I don’t find this flour in New Zealand so I can’t try it yet.
Se metto l’impasto in una teglia da plum-cake 9×5 pollici o rotonda da 18 cm? Va comunque bene ?
A 8″ inch cake pan should work well. Baking time will probably be a bit longer.
