Every now and then I get this craving for something sweet, and when I’m in a rut I feel that I usually have two options: 1) a delicious piece of fruit or 2) something somewhat sweet, but usually gluten free. If you have been following the diet strictly each week you’re definitely entitled to a treat. Essentially, it’s alright once in awhile. Right?
To satisfy your sweet tooth, try these Coconut Blueberry Muffins. Not only do they satisfy your sweet tooth craving, but they are also gluten free and hardly bad for you. The subtle sweetness of the blueberries and honey bound together by the coconut flour make for a delicious and hearty treat.

Canola Oil should be avoided. Why? Check out what Mark Sisson has to say here: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/dear-mark-canola-oil/
These would be equally delicious and much healthier with coconut oil. We will have to make these very soon.
Thanks!
Good tip Henry, can’t wait to try these!
