Avocado Coconut Muffins

The struggle is so real to find breakfast-friendly foods when you're egg, dairy and grain free. I miss how easy it was to make a bowl of cereal or grab a granola bar. One reason why I love the coconut avocado muffin: once you make a batch its so easy to toast up in the morning.  Reason two: I can top it in coconut butter.

After picking up my first ever jar of coconut butter less than a week ago, I already finished it. Seriously- the stuff is amazing. With a similar texture to peanut butter and the perfect combination of sweet and creamy I find myself drifting to the counter and eating it by the spoonful.

This recipe is fairy easy and done in three parts. The arrowroot flour, melted coconut oil and water mixture is an egg replacer, so if you aren't egg free you can use an egg instead! They come out just sweet enough in my opinion.

Avocado Coconut Muffins 
(dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, gluten and grain-free, paleo!)

1 avocado
3/4 cup coconut milk
Juice of 1 lemon

1 tbsp arrowroot flour
1 tbs coconut oil
1/4 cup water

1 1/2 cup coconut flour
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup melted coconut butter
1tsp stevia (or more depending on your taste)
1 tbsp vaneilla

Pre-heat oven to 350

1. Start with combining the avocado, coconut milk and lemon juice in the blender until creamy.

2. Whisk the arrowroot flour, melted coconut oil and water together in a small bowl.

3. Combine the remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the small bowl mixture and blended mixture. The recipe should come out doughy but if it is too dry you can add more coconut milk.

4. Grease your cupcake tray with coconut oil (or use paper). Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes or until top browns.

Top with whipped coconut milk, cinnamon, or coconut butter! Toast or re-fry. Enjoy.
