Since the FDA does not want us to discuss the health benefits of coconut oil on a page where it is being sold or given away, here is the best website to read about the health benefits of coconut oil.

I was recently sent Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil to review. I really enjoyed researching recipes especially on their Pinterest boards. I have a soft spot for muffins. My son needs more fruit. Below is a recipe I tweaked and absolutely love. Coconut oil is great for baking and cooking. Just replace with whatever oil is in the recipe. I found coconut oil tastes great with oatmeal.  Give a try and let me know what you think.

Oatmeal fruity muffins

1 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup hot tap water
1 & 1/4 brown rice flour
3/4 cup White flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs lightly beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup coconut oil (easiest to melt for measuring. This will harden when mixed with cold ingredients)
1 cup wheat bran (or flaxseed or chia seeds)
2 bags of fruit/yogurt smoothie mix. (1 bag is 8oz-I warmed the mixture in the microwave for a few seconds.

*OPTIONAL Few chocolate chips (fool the toddler)


Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Bake 20-25mins

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda baking powder, and salt.

In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, smoothie mix, eggs, vanilla, oil and bran. Add in oatmeak and dry ingredients.

I mashed the fruit (raspberries, blueberries & strawberries) with a potato masher for my picky toddler.

 

Few other recipes I have used Coconut oil as a replacement:

• Cinnamon Sugar Muffins
• Allrecipes Blueberry Muffins
• Granola bars
• Spinach Cake Muffins

 Now is your chance to win 1 quart of Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil!
