Blueberry Coconut Muffins (FM)

Recipes | June 05, 2013

 No more muffin tops with my Blueberry Coconut Muffins Recipe!! 🙂 

I never thought that I was a baker. Until today. This recipe is for everyone of you guys who think that you suck in the kitchen. Actually I think that all of my recipes are like that, because I do suck in the kitchen. The trick is to simplify things as much as you can. Do not complicate your life with difficult cooking techniques if you know that you do not have the natural talent for it. There is always a way to get around it and create meals that are super delicious, healthy, and yet easy to make. Like my Blueberry Coconut Muffins that are gluten free and way better for you than traditional muffins.

When the time is up, take them out of the oven and let them cool down. You will be tempted to bite into one of them, but try to control yourself. I did my best, but it was not easy, because they smell so good!

Oohps. Almost forgot to take a picture 🙂 it’s not my fault. The time stops when you taste these muffins. Suddenly it was just him and I… and less than 5 minutes later it was just me again. Your goal is to take your time and actually taste it. Each muffin is about 250 calories, so having a small glass of whole milk with your muffin will not only complement the taste, but it will add an extra protein to your breakfast or snack.

Enjoy and leave a comment for me. Thank you 🙂

      If you have a blender, you could make almond flour. Just buy almonds with skin and blend 🙂 At least I am doing it and it was never problem.

    I just made these and they are delicious. I used fresh blueberries instead, and some coconut milk. Amazing!

    Hi, is there something to replace arrowroot powder with? Because in Slovakia it’s really hard to buy that.
