Blueberry Coconut Muffins

These Blueberry Coconut Muffins are a wonderful, healthy creation of mine.  Kids will love them too!  I used freshly ground white whole wheat flour, maple syrup, Bob's Red Mill Flaked Coconut, pumpkin pie spice, coconut oil, flax eggs, almond cream and frozen blueberries. Bob's Red Mill carries a coconut with larger flakes and they work very nicely in this recipe. Only $3.11 for a 12 oz. bag on  iherb.
