These blueberry coconut orange muffins are moist and delicious with a delightful flavor combination of fresh blueberries, shredded coconut, and orange zest.
Oh my, oh my, oh my – we loved these blueberry coconut orange muffins. They were enjoyable just fresh out of the oven with those tempting flavors of blueberries, coconut, and orange. But letting them sit for a day and the flavor got even more rich.
I love a good salad with dinner plus a wonderful bread along side. These blueberry coconut orange muffins were just the perfect accompaniment. They were so good and moist there was no need for jam or butter or even honey on top. With each bite of these blueberry coconut orange muffin the flavors complimented each other. There’s the blueberries, the orange zest, the coconut, and even the addition of yogurt added. It’s the perfect pleasant flavor combinations.
How to Make Blueberry Coconut Orange Muffins?
Mixing and baking these muffins is fairly easy but there are several steps. First whisk together all the dry ingredients, then the gentle stir in of the liquids. Gently stirring in the liquids – aka milk, eggs, vanilla, orange juice is a must for tender muffins. Every so slightly mix in the blueberries, leaving a few to plop on top of your blueberry coconut orange muffins just before baking.
With baking the muffins first at a higher temperature – 425 degrees for 5 minutes – should allow for a quick rise. Then lowering the temperature to 350 degrees to finish baking a moist, delectable muffin.
Right after baking I finished my muffins off with a little sprinkling of sugar and a quick broil of 1 to 2 minutes to caramelize the sugar. That little something made the muffins even sweeter against the sometimes tartness of blueberries. If you do do this watch your muffins carefully so they don’t burn because we all know the muffin tops are the best.
Enjoy these delicious and healthy muffins for breakfast or a side with dinner! Look at all those blueberries popping open for the most mouthwatering blueberry coconut orange muffin ever.

Do you think I could take out the coconut flakes and substitute the almond milk for coconut milk? I love the flavor but hate the texture.

Jesseca,
Having recently used coconut milk in another recipe, I think you would be able to enjoy the flavor of coconut and not the texture. I don’t know if the coconut adds much in dry ingredients so be aware that you might need to add less liquid. Play it by ear, you such expect a normal muffin batter. Good luck. I hope you can find a balance that makes it perfect for you.
