Gluten free, Vegan and Oil free Coconut Muffins

Hello everyone!

Yesterday was my first day off from work and the first day I could celebrate that I had finished uni for the year (wahoo!)

However, the weather wasn’t as happy as me and decided to storm all day – to the kitchen it was! (Oh, and I MAY have been guilty of seeing the latest, and final, installment of the Twilight Saga films too..)

These muffins really don’t take long to put together and are great because they are ingredients most have in the fridge (there was no way I was facing the stormy weather to walk up to the grocery store!)

Hope you enjoy the recipe. They use applesauce instead of oil/butter, and the coconut milk infuses such a nice flavour!

If your feeling extra decadent, I think these would be great with dark chocolate chips
