2.5 tbsp water

1 C unbleached all purpose flour

3/4 C coconut flour

1/4 C shredded coconut + 1 tbsp for tops

In a small dish combine flaxseed and water and let sit for at least 5 minutes

Heat oven to 375

Prepare a muffin sheet with non stick cooking spray and muffin liners

In a large bowl combine all dry ingredients

Add milk and yogurt, combine thoroughly

Add coconut, syrup and sugar and combine

Add flaxseed mixture and combine

Pour batter into lined muffin sheet

Top each muffin with a few shreds of coconut

Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes until lightly browning

Remove from oven and cool completely before eating

I think these muffins are even better the next day
