GLUTEN-FREE COCONUT BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



Gluten-Free Coconut Blueberry Muffins image

A moist, sweet, gluten-free muffin that happens to be reduced carb and high in fiber. Coconut flour absorbs a huge amount of liquid, so only a small amount of flour is necessary. The eggs work as a leavening and binding agent. Very yummy. Kosher: Pareve (if made with oil). Dairy-free and grain-free.
