It’s official. Chocolate and I have broken off our long term relationship. We’ve had a bumpy one. A really messy one you could say. Love-Hate. We break up then get back together in a very passionate way. Make up sex style. I’m disappointed in myself for just saying that. Not really. But for reals, it’s over this time. For at least 5 weeks. Jason bet me $3 that I couldn’t resist chocolate for 5 weeks, until after the CrossFit Open, so I must prove him wrong. He will be wrong.
Wanna know what I did this Saturday night? It was pretty epic so get ready. I ate dinner with my parents and uncle, we cooked fajitas, then talked about child birth because my uncle just had a kid, I mostly talked about how gross it is, then I went home. Don’t worry, this is where sh*t gets real. I dyed my hair (because my natural color is blonde so I have to dye it every 2 weeks) then put on a yeast face mask and watched youtube videos. Yep. I sat on my couch with my glossy hair slicked back, a face mask hardening my skin that smelled like rising bread, in a huge baggy sweatshirt and shorts with a hole in the butt cheek. What am I doing with my life.
Oh wait, I also made a dessert that failed. Wish you could understand the smells that filled my house that fine Saturday night. I’m pretty sure I was high. High school all over again. Kidding. Slightly.
I also cried during a muscle up wod. I had 20 to do and finished 19, failed 6x on the 20th one, tore my hands, then cried in disappointment. I also kicked the wall and said ‘f*ck you’ loudly. Real mature Juli, real mature. I hate you muscle ups. I.HATE.YOU.
What’s up with people wearing track suits? So weird.
Ryan Gosling is adorable. I wish he would take me on a date that included him falling in love with me. And smiling at me. A lot. It’s not that much to ask people.
Simple Blueberry Muffins
- Yield: 8-10 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1 cup almond meal/almond flour
- 3 eggs, whisked
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- pinch of cinnamon
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. If you’re good at baking, you’ll know to mix the dry then the wet ingredients then mix together, but I do all the ingredients together and it works out just fine.
- Place ingredients into 8-10 silicone muffin cups in a muffin tin. Or you can use muffin tin paper liners.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes. Just keep an eye on it, they will puff up and look adorable.
- Eat them and be happy. And merry.

The hubs refused to eat coconut flakes, any suggestions for subs?
just remove the coconut flakes, they will still hold together without them!
Is it ok if I do not have shredded coconut? I have everything else. Also, I tried a similar recipe the other day (no almond butter or baking powder) but they came out VERY oily and wet. Did I just not cook them long enough or what?
yes they should still work without shredded coconut. You really need the almond butter though.
I’ve made these twice now, and they are fantastic! I love your blog; keep up the great work!
These tasted delish BUT I had the sinking problem too. Actually I think in my case they just wouldn’t cook all the way through without the top burning (any my kids won’t touch anything slightly browned…) I will make them again only filling the cups half way possibly? Thanks for the recipe!
Possibly!! They might be too dry for some reason so try adding some coconut milk to the mixture
I eat these muffins with my eyes closed trying to savor every bite. They are so so so good. I want others to see how good they are, but I don’t want to share them! Thanks so much for the recipe!
Dear Juli, the recopy sounds great! However I am terrible at translating cups into grams… Could you please help me! Love to make these muffins. THANKS
i wish i knew, i’m sorry!
The best, very tasty and moist! Thank you for sharing the recipe =)
Curious if you use almond meal, or almond flour? I see that it says meal/flour…. I’m new and confused on a lot of this to be honest. We have both straight almond meal, and the blanched almond flour so either or doesn’t matter. Just what would be your weapon of choice?
it doesn’t matter which one you use 🙂
We were sad when blueberries went out of season because we love these…even the ones I froze (they freeze wonderfully) were gone. So I subbed maple for honey and added Enjoy Life chocolate chips…OMG. Winner. I want to rate 5 stars, but the star icons just blink on my iPad.
Holy crap balls these were awesome!! Thanks for the recipe, so glad I found your website!
