Baking With Lucy Bee Coconut Oil

By  | 

Baking with Lucy Bee Coconut Oil is part of my weekend rituals; this coconut oil never makes it into my store cupboard because I use it in every meal and part of my beauty routine.

If you pop round my place at the weekend, I can be found in my kitchen, mixing and pouring like a mad scientist trying to find the perfect spell for that perfect bake.

I hold my hands up, I love cake!

But I don’t ever buy shop bought cakes, I like to bake my own so I know what’s gone into the mix and that there is an element of healthiness for all.

These Coconut, Banana & Cherry muffins were a happy accident!

I hate throwing produce out, I hate waste so I try to use up whatever I buy.

I had some bananas to use up and a rare occasion of some fresh cherries leftover that are far too expensive a fruit to even consider disposing of.

With the ingredients I had I managed to make eleven good sized muffins that I served at breakfast for some friends, they didn’t sit on the plate for long!
