Orange, coconut and oat muffins

Background
These orange, coconut and oat muffins are healthy, vegan and gluten-free, if appropriate oats are used. The main ingredient is coconut β so coconut milk, flour, sugar and desiccated coconut is used. You can substitute the vegetable oil with coconut oil too for an even more intense taste. These muffins are moist, tasty and not too sweet.

- 2 blood oranges
- Β½ cup coconut milk (not from tin), approx..
- 1 tsp ground flax seeds

- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 2 Tbsp coconut flour
- Β½ cup desiccated coconut
Instructions
- Remove the skin of the oranges.

- Add the oat to the blender and blend again for a few seconds.
- Add the coconut sugar and coconut flour, then gently combine.
- Fold in the desiccated coconut.
- If the mixture is too thick, add more milk. If itβs too thin, add more coconut flour. The batter should be thick, but easily pourable.
