After a long week or so of traveling, this weekend was all about relaxing. And there is no better way to relax than baking some yummy treats and catching up on my weekly television shows with J. So we decided to whip up a batch of delicious, moist blueberry muffins with a crumbly top.

- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Topping (optional):

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine coconut flour, sea salt, baking powder and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
- Add in eggs, vanilla extract, maple syrup and coconut milk and whisk until there are no lumps.
- Slowly add in the coconut oil while continuing to mix the batter.
