Coconut Muffins (Coconut Flour)

coconutflourmuffinsThese Coconut Flour Muffins are a great way to start the day. They are flavourful, simple to make, one of my favourite coconut flour recipes and are perfect when you are heading out the door and need a quick breakfast idea.

2 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted
½ cup coconut flour
⅓ cup Monk Fruit Sweetener with Erythritol (Granular)
1½ tsp. baking powder
1½ tsp. pure vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 (6 oz) can coconut milk
½ cup coconut flakes, optional

Preheat an oven to 350°F (180°C/160°C fan, Gas Mark 4). Line 8 holes of a standard muffin tin with paper liners. Spray with cooking spray.

Combine melted coconut oil with coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, vanilla, eggs, and coconut milk. Stir until smooth. Stir in coconut flakes or any other mix-ins. Divide between 8 muffin tins.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until the muffins are lightly browned around the edges and feel firm when pressed with your finger.

Makes 8 servings.

Variations:

You can add in pretty much anything as long as it fits into your eating lifestyle. I love using coconut flakes because it adds even more scrumptious coconut flavor. Make sure to check out the recipe video to see how I divide the batter and make 3 variations at once. Here are a few other ideas for you to try out:

  • Chocolate Chips: Use sugar-free chocolate chips to cure your chocolate cravings. So good. I love adding chocolate to Zucchini Muffins too.
  • Blueberries: I can never get enough yummy blueberries! I made a variation on this recipe into coconut flour blueberry muffins.
  • Lemon Zest: It’s especially good to add a little bit of lemon zest in the spring and summer. Lemon is so light and refreshing.
  • Nuts: Toss in some pecans or walnuts to add a nice little crunch to every bite.
  • Cream Cheese: Skip the coconut flakes and press a cube of cream cheese into the center of each muffin. Instant cheesecake muffins! If you want you can mix sweetener into the cream cheese first but we don’t mind having unsweetened cream cheese in the middle of a sweet muffin.
  • Icing: What is the real difference between a muffin and a cupcake? Frosting. Feel free to turn these into a cupcake by adding on some homemade whipped cream (just whip heavy cream and add sweetener and a dash of vanilla extract) or your favorite sugar-free frosting.
