Coconut Blueberry Muffins

These coconut blueberry muffins are light and fruity, with coconut extract and coconut flakes inside, and topped with a delicious streusel on the outside!

If you have similar tastes as I do, which I’m assuming you do if you regularly follow my blog, then you are going to want to make these Coconut Bluberry Muffins asap! I typically pair coconut with lime, but I was really craving something blueberry and the coconut seemed like it would taste good with blueberries, and it sure did!

My friend Yvonne from Tried and Tasty, actually did this post recently about using frozen blueberries to replace fresh blueberries in baked goods which is what inspired this post. It worked great, although I shoved a few extra frozen berries on top, without doing the simple trick, which is why they bled a little bit, but if you bite into one of these muffins, you will see a beautifully white muffin with polka dot blueberries. It’s a great trick, so go read how to do it!
