Can I substitute some of the ingredients?

All of these recipes can easily be adapted based on your dietary requirements/budget/convenience/taste preferences! All the individual recipes include substitution notes, but in general:

you can use any type of oil: coconut oil, olive oil or vegetable oil
you can use any type of plant-based milk: almond milk, rice milk, soy milk, cashew milk, oat milk etc
you can use any type of liquid sweetener: maple syrup, agave syrup, brown rice syrup etc
you can substitute the ground almonds (almond meal/almond flour) with ground walnuts
to make nut-free muffins, substitute the ground almonds (almond meal/almond flour) with ground sunflower seeds and use a nut-free plant-based milk
for oil-free muffins, the oil can be substituted with 4 tablespoons applesauce
if you’re not gluten-free, you can use plain flour, wholemeal (whole wheat) flour or spelt flour instead of the gluten-free flour
blueberries can be substituted with raspberries or cherries or dried fruit such as raisins, chopped dates or prunes
any of the muffins can be topped with chopped nuts, flaked almonds or coconut flakes before baking.
