Recipe Time: Blackberry Coconut Crumble Muffins

Hi everybody! I'm Megan, and I'm the blogger behind Freckled Italian.

My blog is a place where I share what it's like to be a running, cooking, photo-taking graduate student with dreams of a literary life. I'm here today to share a new muffin recipe with you! I recently cut grains, dairy, and sugar out of my diet, so I'm sure you can imagine how difficult that makes something like baking. But it's not impossible!


Freckled Italian's Paleo Blackberry Coconut Crumble Muffins

Ingredients:
3 eggs
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup Blue Diamond coconut almond milk
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut
About half of a 6 ounce package fresh blackberries
1. Mix the (melted) coconut oil, eggs, honey, and salt together.
2. Add coconut flour, baking powder, and mix. Stir in coconut almond milk.
3. Fold blackberries into the batter. I cut some in half but soon decided that I liked the idea of whole ones better.
4. Add the shredded coconut and stir a final time.
5. Spoon the batter into greased muffin tins. I used mini ones because I left my regular sized ones at a friend's house!
6. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. 
Just keep an eye on them. They'll be done when they're golden brown and firm to the touch.

Thank you so much, Megan, for this recipe!  Blackberries are an absolute favorite in this house!

If you get a chance, stop by Megan's blog and give her a little hello.  She is sweet, adorable, AND she has a really fun pen pal project going on right now!  I'm so happy to have her as a sponsor this month!

    1. "No grains, dairy and sugar??"

      There's sugar in honey and blackberries, so not quite.

    2. No added sugar! Honey is kind of a cheat but fruit is just fine!

  4. I may have missed it, but I think the ingredients are missing the coconut flour.

  15. Um, eggs are dairy. Wayyy dairy. Lol.

    ReplyDelete
  16. @Lisa--Paleo refers to "dairy" as just milk products like yogurt and most cheeses. We eat a lot of eggs.

  25. If your cutting out dairy, sugar and grains - why not cut out eggs? There are some great vegan (no dairy - like actually no dairy) recipes about http://www.lookbookcookbook.com/p/recipes.html

  27. @Anonymous (#2) I eat eggs because they are included in the Paleo diet and don't make me sick like milk does.

    ReplyDelete
  28. oh right I see.. excuse my ignorance as I had never heard of the 'caveman' diet and assumed it was a variation on vege/vegan but it includes meat. interesting. (they do look lovely tho)
