Coconut Flour Muffins

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat 10 wells of a standard 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray, or line them with paper liners and coat the liners with nonstick spray.
2. Place the coconut oil in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Continue to heat in 15-second bursts, just until melted. Alternatively, you can melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
3. In a medium bowl, stir together the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. In a separate, large mixing bowl, add the mashed banana (make sure you have the ½ cup called for in the recipe). Whisk in the eggs, honey, vanilla extract, and almond extract until combined. Whisk in the melted, cooled coconut oil.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Whisk until smooth and very few lumps remain (you may have some small ones from the banana but get the batter as smooth as it can be). Gently fold in the blueberries.
6. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling the cups about 3/4 of the way to the top.
7. Bake the muffins for 16 to 18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops spring back lightly when touched. Place the pan on a wire cooling rack. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then gently remove them to the wire rack to finish cooling completely.
