The leftover pulp from juicing contains the insoluble fiber aka roughage from the vegetables and fruits you’ve juiced. So yes I would have to say that the pulp from juicing is good for you. The additional fiber is especially beneficial if you suffer from constipation.

FAQ – Green Juice Pulp Muffins
Can I use any kind of juice pulp for this recipe?
These muffins work best with pulp from mildly sweet green juices — think apple, cucumber, celery, spinach, ginger, etc. Avoid pulp with too much beet or citrus, which can overpower the flavor or change the texture.
How much pulp do I need?
About 1 cup of tightly packed pulp works well for this recipe. You can freeze pulp from several juicing sessions and use it once you’ve collected enough.
Do I need to remove apple seeds before juicing?
Yes! If you’re juicing apples for your green juice, be sure to remove the seeds before juicing. Apple seeds contain small amounts of natural toxins and shouldn’t end up in your pulp (or muffins!).
Can I freeze these muffins?
Yes! Once cooled, wrap them individually and store in a freezer-safe container. They’ll keep for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Why are my muffins dry or crumbly?
This could be due to very dry pulp or overbaking. If your pulp seems extra dry, add a splash more milk to the batter to help keep the muffins moist.

Loved this! I skipped sugar and they kind of came out like eggless quiche? So yummy.
Oh that sounds just fab! Yummy
These muffins are excellent!! I love them with my juice. And a great way to not waste all that pulp! The pumpkin seed butter taste so delicious in the muffins. I added pecans for an extra bite and poured some whole oats on top of the oat flour for extra texture. Great muffins!
Those sound like lovely additions. So happy you enjoyed these green juice pulp muffins!
Thank you so much for this recipe. I didn’t have the coconut but either way it turned out amazing.. My kids (6 and 3) loved it!! I’m thrilled that I now have something to do with the pulp besides throwing it out. Thanks again. :)
Woop Woop! Waste not want not right! So happy these pulp muffins were enjoyed by all.
I really enjoyed these muffins. I did not have all the ingredients so I substituted. I used organic peanut butter. I substituted desicated coconut for coconut flour. I made my own oat flour out of steel cut oatmeal mixed in my Vitamix. I used raw honey. I used balsamic vinegar in place of the apple cider vinegar. My green pulp was from celery only. I was going to add some dried cranberries but I forgot about them. These muffins still turned out good. Thank you for the recipe.
Really happy to hear that after all those substitutions they turned out well. Thanks for sharing Linda!
So what happens if I didn’t remove the apple seeds before I juiced? Should I not use my pulp for muffin and trash the pulp? Whoops!
We’ll you’d have seeds in your muffins.
These are delicious! They have the perfect (slightly) crisped top with a soft, cakey inner. My pulp was loaded with ginger, which I’m convinced is why I fell in love. Sweet and spicy. Thanks for a great recipe!
That sounds amazing — I can practically taste that gingery kick! 😍 So glad you enjoyed the texture too — crisp on top and soft inside is the goal! Thanks so much for trying the recipe and sharing your twist. Sweet + spicy is such a winning combo! 💚
I wish I could share a picture but it was super dry, crumbly and we used all the ingredients. The only substitute was the oat gluten free over the coconut flour gluten free.
Thanks for your comment! Just to double-check — the recipe actually calls for oat flour, not coconut flour. Did you possibly swap in coconut flour instead of oat? That could explain the dry, crumbly texture, since coconut flour absorbs a lot more liquid. Let me know what you used and I’ll be happy to help troubleshoot!
Oh my goodness! I tried these muffins making a couple changes: I used almond flour and half the sweetener. what a home run! I was drawn to this recipe because of the protein value of the seed/nut butter value…little did I know the recipe came from a wonderful website that has such luving content. I’ll be back!
gratitude!
Oh wow — this absolutely made my day! I’m so glad the muffins were a hit, even with your tweaks (almond flour sounds like a great swap!). And thank you for your kind words about the site — that means so much. Can’t wait to have you back! 💛
