BLW Recipe: Healthy Strawberry Muffins

Sometimes it can be hard to find things to feed your baby. Lately I have been feeling bad for always feeding Amelia eggs or oatmeal every day for breakfast. I mix up the fruit she has and sometimes I will make french toast or regular toast too. But it is a very small rotation of food, and I really wanted to give her more options.

I have made several things with coconut flour before, mostly for Amelia, and each time it turns out horrible. I made her teething biscuits once and they tastes like sand and basically crumbled into sand when you touched them. It was frustrating, and I have this big bag of coconut flour I haven't known what to do with. So I decided to try once again, but blend it with regular flour, and see how it went. I also decided to make my own recipe, as all that I have tried out there SUCK!

I am still super excited at how amazing these muffins turned out! They were so easy, and fast to make too! I am thrilled to be able to share the recipe with my readers and I hope you guys love them as much as I do! These are super healthy (they ARE for you baby/child, but I have had some and so has my husband!) which makes them even better! I refuse to give anything to Amelia that isn't as healthy and whole as possible. Most of my ingredients are organic, GMO free.

Ingredients:

1 C. organic chopped strawberries
1 C. whole wheat flour
1/2 C. organic coconut flour
1 egg (we only use organic, cage free)
1/2 C. organic half and half
1/4 C. warm water
1/4 C. organic coconut oil

Melt the coconut oil into the warm water, add half and half, and egg. Mix well
Add flours and fold strawberries in.
