Coconut flour muffins with blueberries

This summer has been crazy, I have been traveling in and out since April and is funny how we love to travel but then our body feels so much the lack of routine, the switch from one temperature to another, the messy sleep and the long hours inside of a plane.

However I am back and I am feel energised, full of plans and nice ideas that hopefully I'll be able to put in practice in this future year.

With me back at home, the muffin season started again:) :)
I was craving for some muffins but I only had coconut flour at home, so I decided to go for some pure coconut flour muffins.
Cooking only with coconut flour can be tricky, as the coconut flour is really absorbent. Because of this I added lemon juice to the batter to help them to get a bit more moist, and the final result was pretty good I have to say.
I used blueberries as we bought some and they were a really bitter so I just decided to bake them instead, but you can use any other fruit. I am curious to try pear in the next ones!


Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup of coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp of baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • 6 eggs (organic preferably) 
  • 1/2 cup of coconut oil 
  • 1/3 cup of honey (you can add more if you like them sweet)
  • 2 Tbsp of lemon juice
  • zest of one lemon
  • 1/2 cup of blueberries (or other fruit that you prefer) 
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract
Let's do it:
  • Pre-heat the oven to 150C
  • In a bowl mix all the dry ingredients 
  • In other bowl, beat the eggs and add the coconut oil, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla extract
  • Pour the egg mixture over the dry one and mix well
  • Add the blueberries 
  • Allow the batter to absorve all the coconut flour, so wait for about 5 minutes
  • Scoop the mixture to the muffin tins 
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes 
Time of preparation: 10 minutes preparing + 25 minutes baking
Quantity: 12 muffins

I recently got to know this band Kaleo. I don't know much about them, beside the fact that they are from Iceland and they play a indie blues style of music. 

Have a nice day :)
