be well (coconut muffins)

Discovered this recipe from a blog called Comfy Belly (http://comfybelly.com/) that is fabulous! She makes hers as donuts but I like the cupcakes better!

Here is a picture of mine:




Ingredients (makes 6-8 donuts or cupcakes)

  • 1/2 cup of coconut flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of honey (or other sweetener)
  • 1 tablespoon of vanilla
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted (coconut oil, or regular oil will work as well)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Blend all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
  3. Using a whisk, or mixer on a low setting, blend in all the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
  4. Mix until well-blended.
  5. Fill muffin pan cups 2/3 of the way full with batter.
  6. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Honey-dipped, toasted coconut topping

Warm a few tablespoons of honey in a saucer (I put it in the microwave for about 10 seconds). Toast some coconut flakes for about 5 minutes at 300 degrees F. Dip each donut in the honey and then in the toasted coconut. (Instead of dipping - I use a spoon and drizzle the honey on top of the muffin)
