Coconut Blueberry Muffins
Wheat-free, high fiber, low carb,
and incredibly delicious
Preheat oven to 400 degrees; grease/line 6 muffin cups
then
Whisk until blended:
3 eggs
2 T coconut milk
1 t vanilla
2 T melted butter or canola oil
2 T coconut milk
1 t vanilla
2 T melted butter or canola oil
3 T honey
Sift together and blend until all lumps are out:
1/4 cup plus 2 T coconut flour
1/2 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
and then very gently fold in:
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
Divide into 6 muffins and bake 15-18 minutes.
Use organic if you can; the flour is expensive but you use so little that it's fine.

Someone is a big Springsteen fan, Claudia! This sounds interesting-- I'll have to try it. I'm headed to the co-op now. Hopefully, they'll have coconut flour-- I've never heard of that.
I didn't expect to find it in Polson, but there it was, right at the health food store. Organic, too! Also, these are non-dairy. I forgot to say that.
I didn't expect to find it in Kalamazoo, either, but there it was-- all the way from Oregon: Bob's Red Mill organic coconut flour!
They're in the oven right now....
This is so great, Anita. So tell me: did you find a way around the somewhat wet top syndrome I'm having with these? The blueberries seem to leave the top a little undone, but I don't want to overbake the rest...I've started using paper cupcake liners but still... how are yours? Do you like them?
When I saw how those tops looked after the recommended cooking time, I thought that maybe it's my oven-- and gave them just a couple extra minutes-- which seemed to fix that. The bottoms didn't burn, but I was using the air-bake muffin tins. Next, I'm going to try a double batch and use the muffin stoneware.
Did you use the canola oil or the butter?
Used organic butter and then tried canola -- much prefer the butter!
Claudia & Anita,
I also made them last night for my kids school teachers brunch. I had wet tops and stuck them under the broiler for a few minutes. They looked good but I didn't get to taste any, so....we'll see what is said tomorrow.
Peggy, it never would have occurred to me to put them under the broiler. I love you!
Let us know what the word is tomorrow...I'm SO pleased that you guys tried them!!!
Okay girls,
What any ideas on what to do with all of the left over coconut flour? I am all muffin'd out!
They were a big hit with the teachers!
Oh that is the perfect word for it: muffin'dout. In my case, coconutmuffin'dout. I just folded the top of the bag over tightly and taped it shut. I'll look up more recipes in about a month or two, when I am over my holiday hangover. (rich food, that is!)
there you go, Peg-- just tape it shut, and move on to Dan's sangria recipe
