Ingredients:
1/2 cup coconut flour

Coconut blueberry chia muffins are a delightful and nutritious treat that combines the tropical flavor of coconut with the antioxidant-rich goodness of blueberries and the powerful nutrients found in chia seeds. These muffins are not only delicious but also packed with health benefits, making them a perfect snack or breakfast option.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with coconut oil.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, salt, and baking soda until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the coconut milk, honey, eggs, and melted coconut oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well mixed.
4. Blend Dry and Wet Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is fully incorporated. The batter will be thick due to the coconut flour.
5. Add Chia Seeds and Blueberries: Fold in the chia seeds and blueberries gently, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your coconut blueberry chia muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Ensure your coconut oil is melted but not hot. You can gently warm it if it's solid, but let it cool slightly before mixing with the eggs to avoid cooking them.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries both work well for this recipe. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to prevent the batter from becoming too wet.
- Coconut flour absorbs a lot of moisture, so measure it accurately and avoid packing it down in the measuring cup.
- Mix the batter gently when adding the blueberries to prevent them from bursting and turning the batter blue.
- Allow the muffins to cool completely on a wire rack to firm up properly before enjoying.
