I was recently given the book, Healthy Breakfast Recipes, from the author, Alissa Carter. It's the perfect cookbook for me-- there are a lot of different options, including sweet and savory. I made these quick and delicious muffins, which I adapted from a loaf recipe in the book. If you like coconut, these are the muffins for you. Here's the recipe:
BLUEBERRRY COCONUT MUFFINS
yield: 5-6 muffins
1/2 cup coconut oil (can also use melted butter)
2/3 cup (65 g) desiccated coconut
1/4 cup (30 g) ground flaxseed
3/4 cup egg whites (can also use 4 eggs)
1 Tbsp greek yogurt
1 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
2 tsp jam (I used apricot)
handful of frozen blueberries
Grind the coconut in a food processor until fine.
Combine coconut, egg whites, ground flaxseed, yogurt, baking powder, salt, and jam in a bowl until well mixed. Pour in the coconut oil (or butter).
Let batter thicken for about 10 minutes.
Grease muffin tin (or use liners) and pour in mixture. Top each muffin with a few frozen blueberries (or fresh, if it's summer).
Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, until golden.

Oh my goodness, these loom amazing. Coconut? Yes, please!
Those muffins look delicious.
Interesting book, I have added to my Amazon wishlist! ;)
These muffins looks scrumptious. I'm putting the ingredients on my shopping list.
The books sounds interesting too. Does it contain any photos or just text recipes without pictures?
I love how the blue cloth complements the blueberries :)
Haven't been here in awhile and I missed your blog!
lovely! I could definitely go for a muffin now

Blueberry and coconut is a favorite combo in our house, usually in the form of pancakes. Can't wait to try these muffins which also happen to be a good snowy day project.
Blueberry muffins with coconut is an unbelievable combination. And a nice breakfast to wake up to this morning, considering it's snowing outside right now where I live. ;)
Lovely breakfast, as always! =)

Sari, the cookbook is only recipes, no photos.
Book added to amazon wishlist! Love it.
Yum! I love how you've adapted the recipe to make muffins - perfect :)
Thanks for the mention, I am truly honored to be featured on your blog!
This is a favorite shot Jen. LOvely.
I think I'm having muffins this weekend. Lately, I've been in love with breakfast foods and it's always fun to visit your site.
I'll definitely try to make them! xx

The look delicious!
So I immediately went and put this recipe into my calorie counter. For 6 muffins each one is 270 calories and only 4g of carbs. Not bad! Unfortunately each muffin has 27g of fat, but it's all from coconut and flaxseed so it can't be bad. Where do you find dessicated coconut?
Caroline, I actually used some unsweetened coconut that I had in the house.
Beautiful! I love the colors!
Looks so good!
Try that also for breakfast!!

Hi from Tokyo,
I made these muffins in loaf form the other day, and found actually this doesn't contain any sugar, just fruit jam gives a touch of dim sweetness. I drizzled a bit of maple syrup over the slice and my kids were happy with it. I loved this textured feeling of bite of coconuts. Thank you for this beautiful recipe.
Made this recipe today - a double batch because I knew you wouldn't fail me! It was delicious. In addition to your beautiful and tasty recipes, thank you for the thought you put into each post; I always learn something.
Hi from Rome.
The muffins look delicious, will try to make them soon!
