I love to bake when I have time and have taken to baking with healthier ingredients. I ordered Nutiva Coconut Flour recently and I was so excited to give it a try. A healthy alternative to regular flour, I was totally in. Who can say no to healthy and delicious Blueberry Chia Muffins? Not this girl! The recipe actually came off the back of the Nutiva Coconut Flour bag but I changed up a couple of things, I don’t have any coconut milk or raw honey in the house. If you have gluten or dairy dietary restrictions, these muffins are gluten and dairy free. *depending on the flour & milk product you choose to use.*
A couple of weeks ago I went grocery shopping and came upon a great deal on blueberries, three pints for $5. I thought it was a good deal so I grabbed three pints of beautiful sweet blueberries. I kept thinking, “I’m going to make those blueberry muffins from the bag.” As I mentioned I ended up having to change a couple of the ingredients because I didn’t have certain items.
Here’s the recipe:
- 1 cup flour (use any I used coconut)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk)
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/4 cup of chia seeds (optional but it adds to the muffin)
- 4tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pint of blueberries
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Keep wet & dry ingredients separate
- Sift flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl
- Whisk honey, almond milk, eggs, coconut oil and vanilla
- Mix in dry ingredients with wet
- Once combined add in chia seeds and fold in blueberries
- Prepare the muffin tins and fill up 1/2 way up with mixture
- Bake for 22 minutes
- Check to make sure muffins baked all the way with a toothpick
- Let cool
The recipe is super easy to follow and you’re going to be so impressed with the muffins.
I was worried about the white pieces until I realized it was the coconut oil. I wasn’t too worried about it, the oil melts during the baking process and the muffins turned out super moist and delicious! By the way the original recipe only called for one cup of blueberries. Maybe I’m overindulging but I like for there to be bits of fruit in every bite. Isn’t it the worst when you want to enjoy something and you only get a couple of bites? Not with this recipe folks. I’m taking care of ya’ll.
See how beautiful they look. So moist, delicious and so good for you.
Question:
What’s your favorite way to enjoy fruit? Muffins, pies, cookies, cakes?
Cheers!

Those sound super tasty. I love blueberry muffins 🙂
I can’t wait to make these! I love blueberry muffins, and Chia is so good for you. Thanks!
Those would be a great idea for a back to school morning, more filling than cereal.
These look so delicious! I love any kind of muffins that have blueberries!
Chia seeds are so versatile and really have some great benefits. I have added them to baked goods like this and also enjoy them in my fruit and yogurt parfaits.
These would be awesome after lunch treats. I’m really starting to like using chia seeds!
These sound so yummy! I would love to give this one a shot
My favorite way to enjoy fruit is dipped in chocolate! Especially Dark Chocolate. Strawberries and Bananas dipped in Dark Chocolate is DELICIOUS! I guess inside a muffin would be a healthier choice! LOL 🙂
This looks like a great recipe. The Chai makes it exciting!
Those look like tasty muffins. A really great treat.
Blueberry muffins are my favorite. I’ve never made them with chia before, but it sounds like a great way to kick it up a notch in the healthy department!
my kids just ate 2 lbs of blueberrys or I’d make these today. THey look amazing and love the “hidden” nutrition
Blueberry muffins are my favorite! I love just having a bowl of fresh fruit, all cut up into chunks with a fork. Maybe a sprinkle of sugar to help bring out the natural juices. Yum!
Sounds like a perfect way to enjoy chia seeds! I really need to put more of them into recipes, YUM
Love the addition of Chia to these muffins! They look great!
These look so delicious and easy to make. I will have to try this recipe on the weekend with the kids.
chia seeds are being added to a lot of recipes I’ve noticed lately. This looks like it would be perfect for brunch!
Mornings are hectic here, so I like baking things that’ll last for a bit. These muffins sound like a great choice for our school days breakfasts.
I love chia and I love blueberries. Who doesnt love a good muffin? Seems like a win win to me.
