coconut goodiness // banana and raspberry muffins

I'm currently experimenting with coconut flour.

(coconuts are a not-so-secret obsession of mine)

Its heaps different from what I'm used to working with in baking because of its extreme dryness. Searching google for recipies, I havent been able to find a decent one that is gluten, dairy and sugar free. So I have finally come up with my own variation that I declare is delicious. Here it is:

banana and raspberry coconut muffins 

Ingredients 

1/2 cups coconut four
1/2 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
6 eggs
1/4 cup rice malt syrup
100g coconut oil (or substitute with butter)
1 tsp vanilla
1 large over-ripe banana mashed
1 cup raspberries (or your berry of choice)

Method

Preheat oven to 180C  and prepare nine/ten muffin tins with paper pattys.

Combine eggs, syrup, oil and vanilla in a bowl with a bar mixer. 

Then pop in the dry ingredients and wizz until all blended nicely. 

Add the mashed banana and berries and spoon into muffin tins.

Bake in oven for appox 30mins (my oven is a little whacky so not sure of the exact time just keep an eye on them)

Set on a wire rack to cool and them consume. 

That's it! Super simple and scrumptious.
