Remember how I needed fresh blueberries the other day? It was for this muffin! Since I only had frozen and didn’t want to run to the store, I researched if you can substitute. You can! If you missed it, check out Baking: How To Substituent Frozen Blueberries for Fresh. It’s so easy! I’ve been really wanting to get in to baking more with coconut flour. If you’ve been around for the last year and a half we’ve been trying to eliminate refined flours and sugars completely from our home. It’s tougher than you think! Last summer I attempted a coconut flour recipe that was a disaster and haven’t touched the flour since. I thought I’d give it a go last weekend and not only found great success, but ended up with the most delicious healthy muffin I’ve ever tasted!
We love ALL Nutiva products (and no, this is not a sponsored post, I just really love the product that much!). We have the organic virgin coconut oil, organic chia seeds, organic hemp protein, and organic coconut flour! When I looked on the back of the flour package and saw we had everything to make the muffins I was overly excited to give them a try! In competing in my health challenge healthy snacks are of utmost importance. I need something that not only fits within my calorie goals, but is quick to grab, and of course tasty. These muffins fit all of those requirements! At only 112 calories each they are perfect for my mid-morning and/or mid-afternoon snack! For being gluten & dairy free I was surprised at just how awesome they taste!!

HI! Is the coconut milk canned/full fat coconut milk? Thanks!
Kim
Can I make this without organic items and also with regular honey?
Yvonne
Hi Kim, thanks for the question. You sure could make these without organic items and with regular honey! Feel free to let me know what you think of the recipe if you give it a try. :)

Hi, I just made these…very nice…though I filled up the muffin cups in the pan right to the brim and baked at 400F instead….it helped to create that domed muffin top….I only got 9 muffins this way…so maybe next time I will double the recipe?
Kelli
Made these for myself and the housemates the other day, everyone really liked them. Very moist, and the chia added some nice texture. I could even do without that 2 extra tbsp of maple syrup as they’re quite sweet (pumping up the moisture elsewhere of course).
Yvonne
So happy you liked them – they are favorites of ours for sure!

I made them for the first time with visiting relatives and their two small boys. We all loved them and had fun. Pauline Scottish Borders

I always seem to have problems with coconut flour I made these and the flour just seemed to soak up all the wet ingredients
Yvonne
Cooking with coconut flour is quite different than cooking with regular flour. The key is to make sure you use enough liquid. Give these muffins a try (unless you have already). This was my first successful recipe with coconut flour!

I am loving chia seeds! This looks like a recipe I’m going to have to try!
Yvonne
Aren’t chia seeds great? I have been loving using them when I can! You’ll love these muffins if you try them!
Shelley
Thank you for this! Having gone gluten/dairy/refined sugar and basically all processed food free for just over 2 months now I’ve been looking for recipes that can be grab’n’go. Looking forward to making this with local organic blueberries this weekend :-)
Yvonne
You’re welcome! They are absolutely DIVINE! I loved them so much!
