Paleo Healthy Blueberry Coconut Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
Ok you guys I know you may be thinking how many more kinds of muffins is she going to make! I LOVE a good muffin. It's essential to me that I recreate some of my beloved favorites in a healthier version. It's important to me that I stay in alignment to how I want to be feeling weekly and also not break the bank with calories or experience a sugar crash after a higher carb/sugar regular muffin.
These muffins are healthy and moist, bursting with warm blueberries, and then you get an explosion of lemon flavor you'd never guess it's super healthy for you!
I added coconut last minute to this recipe. I think next time I make them I may leave the coconut out to enjoy more of the poppy crunch. If you love coconut like I do I would definitely add it but if you are not a lover of coconut I'd leave it out. Regardless, they will by bursting with lemony flavor! Ok, lets get to the recipe! Here we go!
