A good breakfast is my very favorite meal of the day. There’s something about a hearty meal that just starts the day off right. One of my favorite breakfasts is definitely oatmeal. Warm, creamy and I like mine with lots of “mix-ins.” But for the last week here in New Jersey, it’s been nearly 70 degrees by about 9am so a nice big bowl of oatmeal is one of the last things on my mind.
That’s why when I saw the recipe for Muffin Monday this week I was thrilled! I could make oatmeal with all my “mix-ins” and not sweat to death as I ate it. For these muffins I decided I wanted to add some little wild blueberries and coconut. They couldn’t be tastier. A morning treat that’s just a little bit tropical and the best part is the toasted coconut on top. Don’t be stingy, now! As always, after how tasty they are the next best part is how quick and easy it is to make muffins. I love that. Happy Monday!
Enjoy!

We had just about the same adaptation! I swapped out all the mixins and used blueberries too. I loved that you added coconut as well. What a fun muffin.

Your muffins look so lovely! Great idea about adding coconut – what a fantastic combo with the blueberries and oatmeal. Happy Muffin Monday

I would never have thought of coconut.
It looks delicious.
Thanks Meena! I’m so glad you think so. I adore coconut so I sneak it into all sorts of things.
toasted coconut and blueberries are one of my favorite combos!
Ooo! A girl after my own heart. I adore that combination too.
I like mine with mix ins too! I totally pictured this one with toasted coconut! Gorgeous clicks, Kate.
