Did you know that August is Health Awareness Month? After being off 8 weeks this summer I am more than ready to get back to healthy living. Today I’m starting back to aerobics twice a week and we’ve started eating healthy again.
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.
I wasn’t sure how they were going to taste but they were delicious! The muffins were delicate and lightly sweetened. They were studded with the sweet and tart blackberries and delicious plums. They are going to be perfect for my school breakfast this week. They are gluten free, filled with healthy coconut flour and oil, and have tons of fresh fruit in them. Healthy never tasted so good!
