These blueberry muffins are my kind of breakfast -- I still like a little something sweet to start my day :)
Add a couple of strawberries and you have a healthy breakfast - right?
It's a great treat - blueberry-coconut muffins and blueberry tea!
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 large eggs
- 5 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Preheat oven to 350. Spray muffin cups with nonstick baking spray with flour or use paper cups.
In a medium bowl, beat butter, sugar, and zest at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce mixer speed to low, and add cream. Beat in flour until just combined. Stir in coconut; gently fold in blueberries.
Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin cups. Bake for 25 minuets, or until edges are golden brown. Remove from pan, and cool completely on wire rack.
Makes 9 muffins. (Being a Empty Nester, I love when recipes make small batches!!)
P.S. My dog Bromley was on the deck with me having breakfast, I ran inside to get the paper and when I returned my muffin was GONE. This was a complete shock to me, we don't feed him PEOPLE food!! He was very happy the rest of the day :)
Your blueberry muffins look devine:) I can almost taste them. What a wonderful way to start the day. Blueberry tea......my favorite! I will be over in the morning for breakfast.....I wish. I can't believe Bromley ate your muffin! That is a shock to me also....because he is not a begger. Look out now. He will be back for more I'm sure. Have a wonderful 4th of July and say hey to Jerry.
ReplyDeleteI made blueberry muffins yesterday. Smart minds think alike:) I like the addition of coconut and I bet that is why your dog ate the muffin:)

Yum! That is too funny about your dog. My dog would have done the same thing. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July!
Good muffin. Bad dog, well smart dog, anyway. I hope that wasn't the last muffin.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see a muffin recepie I have to come and check it out. These look delicious! I must write the recepie down and try them some day.
ReplyDeleteFunny story... interesting to add coconut to blueberry muffins. I like both, but have never though of combining the two.
ReplyDeleteThese look and sound delicious. The coconut is a lovely addition. Your dog simply has excellent taste. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love the plate/saucer you served these delicious sounding muffins on!
ReplyDeleteI don't feed my dog people food either, but in his eleven years he's been known to help himself once or twice a year when my back is turned.
Yummy!!! I think I'll make these for Breakfast tommorow! Delish....Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThose look really good! I love coconut most likely as much as you like pineapples??? *grin*
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week end and a fabulous 4th!
