Gluten Free Coconut Muffins

Gluten Free Coconut Muffins pack tons of coconut flavor. Made healthier with a gluten free flour blend, coconut oil, and coconut sugar, these muffins are the perfect healthier treat for Easter brunch or any time of year!

My original Triple Coconut Muffins are a winner in my family. I hate to mess with a good thing, but in an attempt to lighten up (and because I feel best when I eat less gluten & sugar) some of my favorite baked goods recipes, I went ahead and attempted a gluten-free version of those original muffins.

Good news – they’re just as amazing!

Light, with a soft crumb and tons of coconut flavor, these Gluten Free Coconut Muffins are the perfect addition to spring-time brunches and Easter spreads. Or enjoy them year round – I do!

I replaced refined all purpose flour with my current favorite gluten free flour blend (Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour, if you’re interested). I also replaced refined white sugar with coconut sugar and further cut back the added sugars by replacing sweetened shredded coconut with unsweetened.

Super simple swaps. Major coconut love.

    I haven’t had great luck with the gluten free muffins until this recipe; thanks! They turned out light and fluffy and I would not have known that they were GF.
