Blueberry & Coconut Wholemeal Muffins (Makes 12)
180g wholegrain spelt flour
75g light brown muscovado sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup melted coconut oil
1 egg
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
100g fresh blueberries
Add the flour, sugar and baking powder to a bowl and then stir in the coconut oil, coconut milk, vanilla and egg. Mix well until all combined and then fold in the coconut and blueberries.
Spoon into muffin cases and bake in the oven (Gas mark 4) for about 20 minutes.
I didn’t add any toppings but I imagine they would be to die for with melted coconut butter – shame I only have about a tbsp left in my jar and I am saving it until I can afford to buy more!
Just look at those exploding blueberries…
Each muffin comes in at just over 200 calories so not bad at all!
I started this blog in 2009 to document my weight loss journey. I was wanting to get in shape for my holiday and to finally overcome my food demons once and for all.
As of June 25th 2009, I reached my goal weight after losing 50lb and 25″. However, fitness and nutrition has become such a huge part of my life that I want to keep challenging myself….
The below pictures show me before I started my weight loss journey and as I am at present. I have made such fabulous progress in a short space of time but am always looking to improve my physique further.
Though I am happy with my weight on the scale, I am seeking to change my body composition by building some more muscle and losing a little more squish. These pictures serve as a reminder of just how far I have come.
