Coconut Lime Muffins

Flavorful coconut-lime muffins made with healthy ingredients like virgin coconut oil and flaxseed, perfect as a moderately sweet breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ⅓ cups raw sugar
  • ¾ cup virgin coconut oil
  • ¼ cup grapeseed oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 limes, zested
  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup flaked coconut
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease 10 Texas-size muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  2. Whisk sugar, coconut oil, and grapeseed oil together in a bowl. Add eggs and lime zest; whisk until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, flaked coconut, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, stir together milk and fresh lime juice.
  4. Pour the milk–lime mixture into the sugar mixture and whisk to combine. Gently fold in the dry flour mixture until just combined. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups.
  5. Bake until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Transfer muffins to wire racks to cool.

Notes

  • If you want a crunch on top, sprinkle each muffin with a bit of raw cane sugar before baking.
