How to make coconut flour muffins - step by step:
Benefits of Coconut Flour
I haven't waxed lyrical about the benefits of coconut flour for a while, so here we go: Coconut flour has high levels of healthy saturated fats, which balance blood sugar levels and aid the metabolism.
It is nutrient-dense, high in fibre and low in sugar. And even though you might find it expensive, a little goes a long way - it is way more absorbent than almond flour, for example, and rather filling.
Above all, I love the gentle coconutty taste! It works supremely well with the fruity blueberry bursts.

Want to make a proper cake? This Vanilla Coconut Flour Cake is the recipe you're looking for!
This mixture makes 8 muffins. They freeze well and you can keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for several days.
Substitutions
You can substitute the coconut oil with butter if you prefer.
If you don't have blueberries, simply replace them with other berries such as raspberries or strawberries.
Alternatively, you could also use sugar free chocolate chips or chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans.
Instead of the vanilla extract, why not try another flavour? Almond extract always tastes great, or add in the zest of a grated orange or lemon.
I don't recommend that you try to substitute the coconut flour with another low carb flour. Coconut flour baking is a very particular beast and you would need different amounts of flour and eggs for any other low carb flour.

This is such an unbelievably easy and tasty recipe. The only changes I made was I used butter and, because I felt lazy I made it into a cake rather than muffins lol Thank you so much.

I made these over the weekend and they were very good. I used frozen blueberries and placed them on top of the batter once in the muffin tin. I placed about 3 or 4 on top of each muffin. That did equal 1/2 cup of blueberries too. I stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When I want one I heat it up in the toaster oven. Yum Yum

Really good low carb muffin recipe. I whipped the egg whites and made mini muffins- 24 from the recipe. Nice and light. I keep them in the fridge.
Jenni
Very tasty. I used all the tips. I whipped the egg whites separately and also defrosted and drained the frozen berries and dusted them with coconut flour Success! Despite leaving out the butter by mistake! Hauled them out of the oven after about 5 minutes, scooped it all out of the paper cups into a bowl, added the butter then into fresh papercups and continued cooking.
I am particularly pleased that this is a coconut flour recipe as almond flour is not only a bit indigestible for me but also more than double the price of coconut flour in RSA
Thank you Katrin, I hope to find more of your coconut flour recipes. do you have a coconut version for the biscootti please?
Katrin Nürnberger
I don't yet! You could try to simply replace the almond flour in the biscotti with 1/3 the amount of coconut flour. I'd probably add flaxseed or ground chia seeds as well to make it firmer. Let me know if you try this 🙂
Maddy
Can I substitute coconut oil for olive oil or something else ?
Katrin Nürnberger
Yes, olive oil should work and also butter.
Petrina Mascarenhas
Thank you for sharing the recipe. I love coconut flavour and so had to give this a try. I’m not sure where I went wrong. I followed the ingredients and quantities exactly. However the muffins turned out a bit bitter. Would you know why, I want to do better next time.
Katrin Nürnberger
It sounds like your coconut flour was off? I always keep it in the fridge so it stays fresh.

I made this last Monday and everyone loved it. Thank you for the great recipe:). I am planning to use a 9" x 5" loaf pan to satisfy my family, shall I use 2x of the ingredients and what about the baking time and temperature? Thank you!
Katrin Nürnberger
I would use the same temperature. You will probably need to bake it for longer, add at least 10-15 minutes and then test with a toothpick to see if the centre is done. If necessary, cover the top with aluminium foil to ensure it does not burn.

Thank you Katrin 🙂
Ida
Question- If I whip the egg whites and add them to the batter, when do I add the egg yolks?
Can’t wait to try this recipe! You are definitely one of my “Go To” keto/low carb authors. Thank you for sharing with us!
Katrin Nürnberger
You need to mix everything, then fold in the whipped egg whites last with a spatula.
