These Coconut Strawberry Chia Muffins are some seriously, yummy muffins and to top it off the smell of strawberries baking is so good! While they were baking, both of my daughters came out of their art studio at different times to see what I had in the oven. I love it when that happens. Oh, I’m just in the kitchen baking up some delicious healthy food for you.
When you make these, you can enjoy the fact that they are chock-full of healthy superfoods – chia seeds, coconut flour, coconut oil, coconut milk. And if you are able, use organic strawberries and free-range eggs.
If you are following Trim Healthy Mama these are an “S”.

April 5, 2016 at 3:39 pmHi Monica! These muffins are an S. They have some nice, healthy fats in them. They have a good deal of protein, too, from the eggs, chia, coconut flour. I think you will love these. They are jam packed with nutrition!

April 9, 2016 at 7:05 pmIs it possible to use the THM baking blend in these instead of the coconut flour?
MamaShire says
April 9, 2016 at 11:47 pmHi Melanie, I think it would be fine to use the THM baking blend. I haven’t tried it myself with this recipe, but coconut flour and the THM baking blend are both very thirsty flours. There is plenty of liquid so it should be fine. The batter should not be runny or too stiff. I’d love to know if you try it and how it works out.

MamaShire says
June 11, 2016 at 8:23 amHi Mamaowl, I use coconut milk in the can. You could definitely sub the heavy cream if you like. The almond milk would probably work fine, it doesn’t have the fat that the coconut milk has so the texture may be different. Let me know if you try it.
