Blackberry Coconut Muffins

Erin Alderson

I have an uncanny ability to overwork myself even when I’m not “working.”

Since I teach, summer is usually full of relaxation, catching up on reading, and hanging out with friends.  However, somehow, this summer has turned in to one of the busiest I’ve ever had.  I spend my days cramming them full of personal, blog, and photography projects (and I sometimes wonder how I will fit everything in when school starts back up!)  I’m also headed out to Colorado next week for a much needed vacation full of hiking and eating (I seriously can’t wait!)

So while I’m in the midst of juggling many different things, I wanted to leave you with these awesome muffins.  I start my days out early and usually by ten I’m hungry.  While I usually try for fruit or nuts, sometimes I like to take a coffee time-out and enjoy of muffin or scone.  I love the coconut/blackberry combo and if you have a good egg substitute, these muffins could be easily vegan!
