Whole Wheat Blueberrilicious Coconut Muffins
Makes 16 muffins
Ingredients
1.5 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1.25 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup Buttery Soft Spread, softened at room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
2.5 Tbsp honey
2 eggs (we use Eggland’s Best eggs because they have 25% less saturated fat than other eggs)
1/3 cup skim milk
2.5 Tbsp light cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup frozen blueberries, unsweetened
1/2 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F and insert 16 muffin liners into the muffin pan. (A traditional muffin pan has 12 cups. So, you may need two pans!
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
Using a mixer, beat the soft spread until light and fluffy. Sprinkle the sugar on top and beat for one minute. Add the honey and mix until combined. Beat in one egg. Once completely mixed, beat in the second egg. Leaving the mixer on low, add the milk, cream and vanilla into the mixture.
Turn off the mixer and sprinkle with the flour mixture and gently stir (by hand) until combined. Gently stir in the blueberries and coconut.
Evenly spoon about 1/3 cup of the batter into the muffin liners. Once the muffin pan is full, gently shake the pan (in a “back and forth” motion) to allow the mixture to have an evenly spread top. Place the muffin pan into the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the toothpick comes out clean.
