Coconut Blueberry Cupcakes
Servings: 9 muffins

- ⅓ cup coconut oil melted
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds

- ⅓ cup frozen organic blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease/line a 12 cup muffin tin.

- Fold in the blueberries at the end.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups.
- Decorate with a sliced banana and a sprinkling of chia seeds.
- Bake for 20 – 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean (unless it hits a blueberry).
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
