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.

TAKE THE QUIZ

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.

Ingredients

1 cup almond meal
1 cup oat flour
1 tbsp baking powder
pinch salt
1 tbsp desiccated coconut
¼ cup coconut oil
¼ cup honey or pure maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
⅔ cup coconut milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten*
½ cup coconut or Greek yoghurt
1 punnet strawberries, chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180℃.
Place liners in a muffin pan, or lightly grease the pan and set aside.
If you're using flax seed or chia eggs, mix according to instructions and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the almond meal, flour, coconut, baking powder and salt.
Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over a low heat, and allow to cool slightly while preparing other wet ingredients.
In a medium sized bowl, lightly whisk the eggs and then add the honey, yoghurt, milk and vanilla. Pour in the coconut oil and continue to gently whisk until all wet ingredients are well mixed.
Slowly fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, until just combined.
Gently fold in the strawberries.
Divide the batter evenly among baking cups, filling to about ¾ full.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are golden brown.
After removing from the oven, allow to rest for 5 minutes and then cool on a rack.
