In the next few days I will be doing a review and giveaway of Tropical Traditions Organic Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil. For now, I am going to tempt you with a recipe for delicious muffins that I used the coconut oil in.
I used a recipe I found in a church fundraiser cookbook I picked up somewhere. The recipe I “used” is, well, not the recipe I ended up making since I changed so many ingredients so I gave it a new yummier name. Believe me, the other name was lackluster.
1 1/2 cups stone ground whole wheat (you can use white)
1 cup rolled oats (quick would be fine)
1/2 cup raw sugar + 1 Tablespoon molasses (go ahead, 1/2 cup brown sugar is fine but not quite as moist)
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup raisins
1 – 20 oz. diced or crushed pineapple, UNDRAINED
1 large carrot, grated ( approximately 1 cup)
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup coconut oil, melted (more on this in a day or 2)
2 eggs, slightly beaten
Preheat oven to 400.
Mix dry ingredients in one bowl.
Mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
Mix the dry and wet ingredients until just incorporated.
Put in muffin tins and bake – approximately 20 minutes.
Let set 10-15 minutes before eating.
Makes 18.
Be careful. They are incredibly addicting. My kids and I all love them and will definitely make them exactly the same way next time. Stayed tuned for my review of Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil.
Is it possible you have the nutrition calculated? That would be great-the recipe looks delicious.
Funny you ask. I actually put it into myfitnesspal. Mind you I can’t guarantee it is 100% accurate nor do I do this for every recipe but per muffin – 137 calories, 21 carbs, 5 fat, 3 protein, 10 sugar, 122 sodium.
