And those muffins look so good. I had no idea you could use avocados as an egg substitute. Loved this post! And those muffins look so good. I had no idea you could use avocados as an egg substitute.

With the long weekend coming up I've already promised to make those lentil pistachio patties and I think I'll make these coconut lemon muffins as a surprise..although I might switch the lime for the lemon..and not just so I can sing "put the lime in the coconut!"

I think the lemon is actually the most prominent flavor, but I found that the coconut somehow held them together better. Lysy, How very generous of you to bake something you don't even like! Now, that's true love, I'd say :) . And yes, it was a bit of a surprise to see how the avocado changed color when heated! Holler, Sorry to hear about your encounters with mozzies (love that word!). But I'm guessing the rest of it is compensation enough ;) Johanna, Sounds like we have the same skin type--if there are 12 people outside and one mosquito, I'll be the one to get 12 bites when everyone else gets none! And sorry I couldn't keep the avocado green for you--but you could just add a few drops of food color from the amazing <a href="http://gggiraffe.blogspot.com/2008/04/green-gourmet-giraffe-birthday-cake.html" rel="nofollow"> green gourmet giraffe cake</a> you made! Claudia, Thanks! The avocado seems to work pretty well that way. . . I'm still working on some other recipes. :) Catherine, It was a bit of a surprise to me, too, but it seems to work! Jessy, Glad these sound like the perfect ingredient combo for the two of you! Hope you like them if you do try them out. :) VeggieGirl, Thanks. . . No carob, but still pretty good ;) Vegan Noodle, Glad you liked the muffins. And hold on to that guy, I say. . . Romina, Glad to hear you're a coconut fan! The HH would be very pleased, too :) Deb, Hadn't thought about the flowers and candy that way, but how true! Courtney, I think you'd need a larger avocado. But I'd suggest pureeing what you have, and if the puree falls short of 1/2 cup, just top it up with soymilk (or maybe even applesauce), and it should still work out! Giz, You should never feel deprived! I think a "diet" should be something you could live on forever. . .at least, that's what I'm hoping to do. Katy, Sorry you don't like coconut! But if you like lemon, these may still be in the running ;) Lisa, I'm not sure the avocado-for-egg would work in every recipe, but for strong flavors like this one, it seems to work out beautifully. BitterSweet, Thanks so much! I hadn't even thought about the fact that it's wheat-free. . . good for those with sensitivities, even if it does have a bit of gluten. Kathryn,
