Ingredients
- Coconut Flour – Coconut flour recipes have a bit of a learning curve. Coconut flour is drier than most other flours. When used correctly however it gives baked goods a wonderful texture and flavor.
- Sweetener – I love the amount of sweetness in these muffins. It’s not too overwhelming or too subtle.
- Baking Powder – To get the coconut blueberry muffins to rise appropriately you’ll need a little bit of baking powder.
- Vanilla – You’ll need a couple of teaspoons of vanilla extract. Almond extract is great too.
- Eggs – The eggs are to bind the muffin ingredients and keep them light and fluffy.
- Canned Coconut Milk – You’ll need to shake the coconut milk before opening it. It’s normal for it to separate in the can, so giving a quick shake is all you need to do. I prefer higher fat milk in these but almond milk will work in a pinch.
- Coconut Oil – Adding some healthy fat to your diet is easy with coconut oil. Make sure it’s melted, so it incorporates properly.
- Blueberries – The star of the show is for sure the blueberries. They give you a burst of natural sweetness.
How To Make Coconut Flour Blueberry Muffins
I think you are going to be pretty happy with how easy these muffins are to make. Here are the step by step instructions. The complete measurements are in the recipe card below.
Step One: Warm the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the 12 holes of a standard muffin tin with paper liners and spray with cooking spray.
Step Two: In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, sweetener, baking powder, eggs, coconut milk, salt, and vanilla together. Once smooth, add in the coconut oil and fold in the blueberries—divide the muffin batter between the muffin cups.
Step Three: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. The muffins will feel firm, and the edges will lightly golden brown when they are done. Let the coconut flour blueberry muffin recipe cool on a wire rack.
Variations
These blueberry coconut flour muffins are fantastic without adding anything extra. However, if you like to try out some new flavors, add in some of your favorites. Let’s look at some ideas.
- Lemon Zest: Add a couple of teaspoons of lemon zest to the batter of this muffin recipe. Then mix a little more with powdered sweetener and water to make a simple glaze. Drizzle on top after they come out of the oven. So tangy and good.
- Coconut Flakes: Sprinkle some shredded coconut on top during the last 10 minutes of baking. It will get toasty and delicious. Just make sure to use unsweetened coconut.
- Nuts: Chop up some walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts and add them to the muffins. I recommend ¼ cup or so.
- Mini Muffins: Just swap out the muffin pan and liners for mini muffins. Bake for about 15-20 minutes.
Common Questions
Is Coconut Flour Healthy?
Yep! It sure is. It’s a go-to for gluten-free and grain-free cooks because it’s naturally free of both of them. It has fiber, iron, and protein too. Plus, one of my favorite things about it is that its low carb. I can add it to lots of recipes, and it tastes goods and is much healthier than other types of flour. Just keep in mind that coconut flour should be eaten in moderation
Can Muffins Be Made Ahead of Time?
Sure! I recommend allowing the muffins to cool completely. Once cool, you can wrap each muffin with tin foil or plastic wrap. Then place the wrapped muffins in a freezer bag or airtight container. If you freeze them they last around 2-3 months in the freezer. The muffins will also last at room temperature for 2 days as long as they are airtight.
They are wonderful to have around for road trips or when everyone is heading out the door, and you don’t have time to cook a big breakfast.
