Receta Blueberry Coconut Muffins and Swirled Pudding! SRC Treats.
When I was given my assignment I was given Jess' blog - The Inquiring Chef. If you haven't been to her blog, then you are totally missing out. What a treat for me. :) Jess makes a lot of Thai food.and I love Thai food. However, I didn't chose to make it for my SRC post. I went with another favorite of mine. Lemon. She had a recipe for Lemon Olive Oil Muffins. I decided to switch it up and add more favorites. Dried blueberries and coconut :)
I made a quite a few changes to the muffin. I subbed coconut oil for the olive oil and I went with some coconut flakes and dried wild blueberries . My recipe that I followed will be below. These turned out pretty darn amazing. Even Grumpy, who is not a fan of either lemon or blueberry, ate two of these on Saturday morning!
I didn't stop there. I also made something that is Grumpy's favorite. Butterscotch and Chocolate Pudding, layered pudding. Deliciously sweet butterscotch swirled in with slightly bitter and dark chocolate. What a match made in heaven.
Because I made no changes to the pudding recipe, please do visit Jess' blog for the pudding recipe. My adapted recipe for the Olive Oil Lemon Muffins is below.
'Another thing about Jess. this girl is expecting twins any day now!! How exciting for her! Congrats to you and your hubby Jess and I hope you enjoy your little bundles of love!
