Blueberry Coconut Muffins

Now I know some of you are going to be like "Janae, that's not healthy!" Yes, there are better things you could have for breakfast. I am of the belief that if you bake muffins from scratch at home, they will be better for you than a store bought one. Everything in moderation, people! This recipe makes 12 muffins and is 131 calories a serving. This recipe came from "DK Children's Cookbook" by Katharine Ibbs, though I added some extra things.


Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp oil
1 cup milk
1 cup blueberries
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 cup granola

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a mixing bowl, sift the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. 
2. In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and add milk and oil. Whisk together.
3. Fold the egg mixture into the flour mixture. There will be lumps, but make sure no flour is visible. Add the berries and coconut flakes.
4. Add muffin liners to the tin and spoon the mix into the liners. 
5. Sprinkle granola on the tops. Cook in the oven for 25 minutes.

Trust me, get unsweetened coconut flakes. They will taste just fine in the cooked muffins. You can also switch out blueberries for raspberries, etc. Or try adding chopped nuts. As always, I hope you try out the recipe and like it!
