How to Make Cherry And Coconut Muffins

Texas Lime In The Coconut Muffins

Don't be put off if you don't like cherries.

Recipe Summary Texas Lime In The Coconut Muffins

This recipe was devised when I had a lot of limes on hand. I'm sure you could use any citrus fruit you like. The key is using healthy ingredients! This muffin is a moderately sweet breakfast treat but much healthier than sweet cereal. The coconut oil is very healthy for you, and so is the flaxseed. Never use margarine! Always use non-aluminum baking powder. I use white whole wheat flour, it comes from white wheat instead of red wheat. These are always a hit at my house.

Ingredients | Cherry And Coconut Muffins

1 ⅓ cups raw sugar

¾ cup virgin coconut oil

¼ cup grapeseed oil

4 eggs

4 limes, zested

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour

¾ cup flaked coconut

2 tablespoons ground flaxseed

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

¼ cup fresh lime juice

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 10 Texas-size muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.

Whisk sugar, coconut oil, and grapeseed oil together in a bowl. Add eggs and lime zest; whisk until smooth.

Whisk whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, flaked coconut, flaxseed, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Stir milk and lime juice together in another bowl.

Whisk milk mixture into sugar mixture. Gently fold flour mixture into sugar mixture until batter is just combined. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Transfer muffins to wire racks to cool.

If you want a crunch on the top, sprinkle each muffin with a bit of raw cane sugar before baking.
