After my posting my review of Tropical Traditions Organic Brown Rice Syrup yesterday, I had over 10 email requests for the recipe.
You guys really like muffins don’t you?
This recipe has actually been in my repertoire for quite awhile.
I went through a muffin phase a few years ago and I was making a new recipe every week! A lot of them were complete failures, but this recipe is one of the few that prevailed.
These muffins are light and flaky, yet dense and filling at the same time. With a hint of sweetness, they make the perfect snack to satisfy that sweet tooth.
Enjoy!
Blueberry Coconut Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (spelt works well too)
- 1/2 cup brown rice syrup (maple syrup or agave will work)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 3/4 cup blueberries (frozen will work fine)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- In another bowl, mix the coconut oil, coconut milk, vanilla, brown rice syrup, and egg.
- Add the wet to the dry and mix well.
- Fold in shredded coconut and blueberries.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes or until golden brown and a tooth pick comes out clean.
I think blueberries and coconut go together like man and wife.
Are you a coconut fan? Yay or nay?

Oh my muffins this sounds fabulous. I definitely agree that blueberry and coconut is a match made in heaven. One of my favorite sandwiches is coconut butter and blueberry jam sprinkled with large flake coconut. It works with any jam flavor really since coconut goes well with so many flavors, but blueberry is my favorite!
Awesome muffin recipe! I’d say you can start claiming to be a baker by now.
I don’t believe I’ve ever had coconut and blueberry together. I used to not like coconut at all, but I’m starting to like it more and more.
Not a HUGE fan of the coconut scene actually! but if it is paired with somthing good ( like blueberries or chocolate) I dont mind
haha, I was wondering if I missed something and you had posted that recipe previously! Thanks for posting it now. They do look awesome, and I’m a rabid blueberry + coconut fan, too. Oh, and muffin fan.
ANYTHING cooked with coconut oil/flour is amazing
It’s a good thing that this recipe prevailed, because these look fantastic!
I’m a big time coconut fan. Maybe not so much of shredded coconut, but I love to use the oil in baking and the butter for pretty much topping anything with.
I used to hate coconut, but somewhere along the road I fell in love! These muffins sound awesome!
I love coconut!
um THOSE LOOK SO GOOD…
i am a bit iffy on coconut (kinda too strong a flavor for me?) but i think i need to give it another try!
Perfect timing – I have a TON of blueberries I needed to find a use for.
Have you used coconut flour? I just bought some and am loving it!
YUM ok, i need to buy coconut oil.
yay- new muffin recipe!
Lovee blueberry and coconut! I use coconut oil in almost all my baking and I love sprinkling coconut flakes on just about everything, but I still don’t like coconut water. So I guess I can’t say I’m a full on coconut fan?..
Coconut and I get along really well. I can not WAIT to try this fabulous recipe.
YESSSS. I love coconut. I eat it with everything: yogurt, cottage cheese, oatmeal, in my homemade bars. You can never go wrong. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Matt!
Absolutely YAY for coconut!! And yes, it goes perfectly with blueberries
.
Love coconut, love blueberries. Totally making these! I have so much coconut oil to use up.
Blueberry coconut is one of my flavor obsessions these days–so good for oatmeal and pancakes!
I am a HUGE coconut fan!
It’s great to have a healthy, hearty blueberry muffin recipe in the arsenal. I will definitely be trying this one.
