Blueberry Coconut Banana Muffins

Third times a charm…Blueberry Coconut Banana MuffinsBlueberry Coconut Banana MuffinsIt took me 3 times to make these Blueberry Coconut Banana Muffins! It’s all fun and games until someone eats 3 batches! Well maybe not all 3 (or maybe?). If you follow me on Instagram you saw that I posted my recipe fail. I tried making them with a few different flours and sweeteners before I landed on this. When I first tested these out, it was with Almond Meal. It was so so so good but did not hold well at all as a muffin. Then I tried it again with Oat Flour and it just crumbled apart. If you bake with oat flour you know what I mean. It’s on the dryer side IMO. So I went with organic whole wheat pastry flour and Boom…delicious, moist flavorful muffins. For realz.Blueberry Coconut Banana MuffinsBlueberry Coconut Banana MuffinsI love the way muffins look wrapped in parchment paper so I was testing out my own cut outs to see how they would work. That’s why you see half the pan lined with them and the other half without.  Next time I need to make smaller squares. I had more paper than muffin in some. Oops!Blueberry Coconut Banana MuffinsBlueberry Coconut Banana MuffinsWhen I use to work in the city, every morning I would pick up an iced coffee with 3 sweet n lows and cream along with a giant blueberry muffin. I thought I was being healthy. Pffft. (IKR!) And I really wanted a chocolate chip muffin but thought blueberry was the healthier choice. Can you even deal with that. Oh the days of being twenty something. I took my blueberry muffin breakfast days for granted then. Well not anymore! I enjoy the heck out of these babies. Plus I added coconut and banana to the mix.
