Coconut Chia Blueberry Muffins


I was craving blueberries the other night, and I wanted to make something we could have for breakfast the next day, and so I thought muffins would be perfect!!! I love blueberries, and so this was my obvious choice of berry to use in this muffin. I choose gluten free flours since my daughter doesn't eat gluten as she could enjoy them as well. I literally threw things together and came up with this. I added a bit of this and a bit of that, and voila! Blueberry muffins! Wasn't sure how they would turn out, or if my daughter and husband would even like them..That was the true test. But they both loved them, and well...so did I.. :-) Let's just say they didn't last long...
As well, I use mainly organic ingredients.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Millet flour
1/2 cup Brown rice flour
1 1/4 cup Oats
1 Tbsp Baking powder
Pinch Himalayan salt
2 Tbsp Chia Seeds
2 Tbsp Ground Flax
1/2 cup Maple Syrup
1 Cup of Coconut Milk
1 Egg
1 Large Banana Mashed
1/4 cup coconut
1 cup Blueberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 Degrees.

Mix the Millet Flour and Brown Rice Flour in a big bowl. Make sure to mix the flours good before adding anything else.

Add Oats, Baking powder, Salt, Chia Seeds, and Ground flax.


In a separate bowl, mash the banana well. 

In another bowl, blend on low for only a minute the Maple Syrup, Milk, Egg, and the Mashed Banana. 

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well. 

Fold in the coconut and the blueberries. 

Bake for 25 minutes at 425 Degrees. 



There are so many more things you could add to this recipe. You could add another berry, substitute the blueberries with another berry. Add cinnamon, walnuts, slivered almonds, etc... Don't be scared to experiment, and add different things. If you don't like one item in a recipe don't just give up and not make it, omit it or change it up. You'd be surprised what you can come up with. 

These were so great warm, with butter and a warm cup of tea...I may need to make more.. :-)


ENJOY!
