There's so many muffin making possibilities that it's hard to imagine running out of tasty combinations to experiment with. For example, take a base flavor like banana. I've had many variations of banana walnut muffins, but there are many more flavor combinations available to play with. These banana muffins include gluten free oats and coconut chips, a little ground cloves and nutmeg, and a topping of sprinkled pecan pieces. You could leave out the coconut, add chocolate chips or something else, maybe mango chunks... whatever sounds good to you, I say go for it. With muffins, the worst case scenario is rarely less than yum.
