Do you love the flavor of coconut? If so, these guys are for you. The pairing of coconut and blueberries is pure genius.
And there’s no refined sugar here even though they include a yummy crumb topping. And they’re gluten-free. Can you just imagine? A totally delicious muffin that is good for you?
- Start off with the eggs and honey.
- They need to be beaten until they are light and fluffy.
- Once the rest of the ingredients are blended in, the batter needs a few minutes to thicken.
- And trust me on this …it will become quite thick.
While the batter is resting, it’s time to prepare the crumb topping. It’s a quick prep. Just four ingredients mixed up in a bowl.
For extra heartiness, you can add some chopped almonds to the topping mix …two tablespoons would do.
By now, the muffin batter should be ready. Do you see how thick it is?
The blueberries are actually just sitting on top without sinking. Using your spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold in the blueberries.
- Scoop the batter into the muffin cups so that they are as even as possible.
- The crumb topping is then sprinkled on each.
After hangin’ out in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, your yummy muffins are done. Be sure to allow them to cool completely …they need that time to properly set.
My favorite helpers, Sophia and Ava, (who happen to be my adorable granddaughters) were standing by to give these guys the all-important taste test.
And look at that …they more than passed. They both proclaimed that “these are soooo good, Mom Mom” with a two-thumbs-up rating.
