Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 cup wholesome yum coconut flour: The star of the show! This flour gives these muffins a rich texture and adds healthy fiber. It’s gluten-free, making it suitable for various diets.
• 1/3 cup besti monk fruit allulose blend (or 1/2 cup wholesome yum granulated allulose): This low-calorie sweetener enhances the sweetness without contributing to spikes in blood sugar. For a sweeter muffin, you can increase the amount.
• 1 tbsp baking powder: This leavening agent is crucial for achieving that fluffy rise, giving the muffins their soft texture.
• 1/4 tsp sea salt (up to 3/4 tsp for a savory cornbread taste): A little salt brings out the sweetness and enhances all other flavors in the muffins.
• 10 large eggs (at room temperature): Eggs help bind everything together and provide moisture, ensuring a tender muffin. Room temperature eggs mix in easily, giving an even batter.
• 2/3 cup coconut oil (melted): This healthy fat keeps the muffins moist, contributing to their rich flavor. You could also use melted butter if preferred.
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk beverage (or any milk of choice): This adds moisture without overpowering the flavor. If you prefer dairy, feel free to substitute with regular milk.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract: It adds a warm, sweet aroma and flavor that complements the coconut and blueberries beautifully.
• 3/4 cup blueberries: These juicy gems infuse the muffins with freshness and a pop of color. If you’re opting for a savory version, you can leave them out.

How to Make Coconut Flour Muffins

1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). This step ensures that your muffins bake evenly and rise beautifully.

2. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Line 10 muffin cups with parchment liners. This will make it easy to remove the muffins once they’re baked and prevent sticking.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, allulose, baking powder, and sea salt. This helps to ensure an even distribution of ingredients and prevents clumps.

4. Create the Wet Mixture: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Crack in the 10 large eggs, pour in the coconut milk, melted coconut oil, and add the vanilla extract. Whisk together in the well until combined, then gently stir everything together until fully mixed.

5. Fold in the Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to crush them. This way, you’ll maintain their shape and ensure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. Fill the Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the lined muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. This ensures they have room to rise without overflowing.

7. Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes. They’re done when the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or store for later.

Storing & Reheating

Store your coconut flour muffins at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge, where they’ll stay fresh for up to a week. If you want to enjoy them later, these muffins freeze beautifully! Just place them in a freezer-safe container or bag, where they’ll be good for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, simply reheat in a microwave for about 15-20 seconds, or in a warm oven until heated through. Note that the muffins may be slightly denser if frozen, but warming them up will bring back their delightful texture.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

• Be sure not to overmix your batter. Mixing just until combined will yield a fluffier muffin.
• Room temperature eggs are easier to whisk into the batter, so try to take them out in advance.
• Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. If using frozen, do not thaw them, as this keeps the batter from turning purple.
• If your batter seems too thick, you can add a splash more milk to achieve the desired consistency.
• Experiment with add-ins like nuts or shredded coconut for extra flavor and texture.

Coconut flour muffins are not only simple to make but also invitingly flavorful, making them a staple in healthy snacking. Their texture is light, and they’re perfectly sweet, especially with those plump blueberries. Whether you’re enjoying one with your morning coffee, sharing them at a gathering, or savoring them as a midday treat, these muffins are ready to delight every palate. Feel free to tweak the recipe, play with the flavors, and enjoy the satisfaction of homemade goodness!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use a different sweetener?

Absolutely! You can swap the monk fruit allulose blend for any sweetener you prefer. Just be mindful of the sweetness level, as some may require adjustments to the amount used.

What if I don’t have coconut flour?

If you don’t have coconut flour on hand, almond flour is a popular alternative, but keep in mind you’ll need a different recipe quantity since almond flour doesn’t absorb moisture in the same way.

Can I make these muffins vegan?

You can make these muffins vegan by substituting the eggs with a flaxseed or chia seed mixture (1 tablespoon of ground flax or chia mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water for each egg) and using a plant-based milk.

How do I know when the muffins are done?

Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin, and if it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached, they’re ready to come out of the oven. If it’s wet with batter, give them a few more minutes to bake.
