Strawberry coconut muffins
If you love fruit muffins, especially strawberry muffins, then you have to try my healthier strawberry coconut muffins!
They’re made with the goodness of wholesome, natural ingredients like oat flour, almond meal, yoghurt, fresh or frozen strawberries and coconut.
I like to sweeten my muffins with honey or pure maple syrup, as I can use less than I would with white sugar. And they blend beautifully with the fruit for a naturally sweet flavour.
Get that coconutty flavour!
Of course you can use any berry you like to make these delicious muffins, or even use mixed berries. I just think that strawberries and coconut are a flavour match made in heaven! And you can use fresh or frozen berries, they both work perfectly.
I do recommend using coconut yoghurt to enhance the coconut flavour of these muffins. But Greek yoghurt will work fine too, if that’s what you prefer.
Don’t eat eggs? There are lots of substitutes you can use. I like the recommendations in this VEGAN SHOPPING LIST
Why not make a batch of these muffins as part of your weekend meal prep? Keep them in the freezer for healthy breakfasts or snacks whenever you need them.
I love these strawberry muffins for breakfast, or as a post-workout treat. You can always sprinkle some chopped nuts over the top of your muffins before you pop them in the oven too, for some extra crunch.

These muffins are the bomb. The almond meal makes them so light and I can’t stop at one. Literally have to hide them away from myself. I love having them with a cuppa in he afternoon, but so does my family :))
Oh, I love it! So glad you love them 🙂
