Lime and Coconut Corn Muffins
Author: Laura Theodore
Yield: 12 Muffins
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons flaxseeds
- 1½ cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup fine grind cornmeal
- ½ cup raw unsweetened shredded dried coconut
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2⁄3 cup Sucanat, brown sugar or your preferred dry sweetener
- 1½ cups filtered or spring water
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 3½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a twelve-cup standard muffin pan with paper liners.
- Put the flaxseeds in a high-performance blending appliance and process into fine flour. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, coconut, baking soda, baking powder and Sucanat (or brown sugar); stir with a dry whisk to combine. Stir in the water, maple syrup and lime juice. Mix just until incorporated.
- Divide the mixture among the lined muffin cups. Bake for 24 to 27 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Put the pan on a wire rack. Let cool for about 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the muffins from the pan and cool for about 10 minutes longer. Covered tightly and stored in the refrigerator, leftover muffins will keep for about 3 days.
