I decided to look around the store for the ingredients I needed to make my Gluten Free Blackberry Plum Muffins.

If you are wondering why I made gluten free muffins, the reason is simple.   Coconut flour is gluten free so instead of adding a flour with gluten to it, I wanted to keep it gluten free.  I also figured it wouldn’t hurt to limit my gluten intake.   As I headed down the baking aisle I spied a large jar of coconut oil for a great price and picked that up as well.

I knew I wanted to put some fresh fruit in my muffins and when I got to the produce section I picked up some plump and juicy blackberries but I wanted another fruit to go with it.  After picking up apples then peaches, I settled on plums.  I thought the sweet plums would pair nicely with the sweet and tart blackberries.

I used a combination of coconut flour, gluten free all purpose flour, and rice flour as the basis for my muffins.  Then I added in the coconut oil and the fresh fruit.   I baked them in the oven and they came out smelling amazing.
