  1. Think you need to update the recipe! It references blueberries in the instructions! Also, is there supposed to be cocoa powder at any point? Your pictures look like the muffins would have cocoa powder and they are called “double chocolate “ but the ingredient list only has chocolate chips… help!

    1. Nat this is fixed looks like another muffin recipe was there for the instructions – odd and thanks for letting me know it is updated. xo San
      PS: is this your email above I want to send a little thank you for catching that.

  2. When do you like to add bananas? I’m assuming with the wet ingredients? Just don’t see it in the instructions. Thanks!!

    1. Exactly, they should be added with the rest of the wet ingredients. Thanks for mentioning this, it must have slipped out of the recipe at some point but I have it fixed now.

  3. It looks delicious and I love the potato salad in it. But can one use something in place of fresh dill? I couldn’t give a damn what it is. Maybe just leave drift boss it out completely? As I eat this dish, my love for it grows because it looks so delicious.

    1. You can easily leave that out. You could really just leave the dill out or use parsley – but really leave it out and add some seasonings, like extra pepper if you wish. Will be tasty either way.
