Tips for Perfect Strawberry Coconut Flour Muffins

  • Use fresh strawberries: Fresh strawberries provide the most vibrant flavor and texture to your muffins. If fresh strawberries are unavailable, frozen strawberries can be used as a substitute. Just be sure to thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • Don’t overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will allow them to set and develop their full flavor.

Variations

  • Chocolate Strawberry Coconut Flour Muffins: Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter for a decadent treat.
  • Lemon Strawberry Coconut Flour Muffins: Add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest and 1/4 cup of lemon juice to the batter for a bright and refreshing twist.
  • Blueberry Strawberry Coconut Flour Muffins: Add 1 cup of blueberries to the batter for a burst of antioxidants and flavor.
