Quadruple Coconut, Fresh Peach & Pecan Muffins

August 30, 2015 by Hillary 12 Comments

It’s always intriguing, as the author of this blog, to go back in time via the post archives and witness how this blog has evolved; how I have grown; and, ultimately, how life plays out.

I can rewind to posts written in the thick of college and reminisce on challenging nutrition and science courses that seem a distant memory.

Today’s recipe is inspired by my Fresh Peach Coconut Pecan Muffins, which I created and shared on the blog nearly four years ago! Re-reading said post (a favorite Nutrition Nut read), I’ve realized, that to my dismay, my writing style was miles ahead of where it’s at today. Must have been all those college papers.

Interesting enough, when I made these enhanced coconut-y, locally-grown peach muffins in my kitchen this weekend, life looked oddly similar to that I depicted four years — different apartment, different roommate, hot coffee in lieu of iced coffee; but I found myself barefoot in my PJs, listening to Kip Moore’s new album, feeling entirely content. Quiet Sundays morning, baking in the kitchen — I think it might always be my happy place.

I adapted the recipe with the ingredients you will now find in my kitchen versus some I used in September 2011: coconut sugar vs. granulated sugar; coconut oil vs. canola oil; unsweetened almond milk vs. dairy milk. With the quadruple coconut action, I nixed the coconut for pure Madagascar vanilla extract. An complimentary substitution.

These muffins have a decadent taste and texture from the coconut oil and coconut sugar, but their melody of health-conscious ingredients are are worthy to be a  Nutrition Nut-approved breakfast. I chose to use Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almondmilk Coconutmilk to quadruple the coconut flavor. Coconut lovers, this recipe is for you.

    This recipe sounds perfect to my tastebuds right now. I might get crazy with these and use canned coconut milk AND toasted coconut.

    When I go back to recipes from 2011 and see canola oil as an ingredient on my blog, I cringe! I wish I had never used it…but I’m glad I’ve learned more now about nutrition. These muffins look so delicious.

    Isn’t it funny (and kind of scary) to go back in the archives and see old posts you thought were amazing? I’ve really been loving this flavor of coconut almondmilk! Great recipe :)

    YUM! I love all of your ingredients listed here! These look so good. I can’t wait for it to get a little cooler out so I don’t feel bad about the oven going every weekend. Pinning these for future!

    These look so yummy! I love that almond coconut milk. It’s delicious in coffee, in smoothies, or mixed with unsweetened cocoa powder and stevia. Yum yum!

    This is the second peach muffin recipe I’ve seen today… it’s a sign that I need to make them myself I think! These look delicious, and I’m with you… in the kitchen creating something delicious & healthy is also a happy place of mine :)

    I am with you on that, Hillary! I love those quiet mornings when no one is up yet (except my fat cat who loves to watch me bake), and just getting creative in the kitchen. The combination of peach and coconut sounds divine!

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
