Pumpkin & coconut cream muffins

So I've been wanting to make coconut muffins for quite a while but we sadly don't get coconut flour here! So I thought I would try using 'coconut cream powder' (as suggested by my mum's friend), obviously mixing it with some other flour due to the richness and creaminess of the coconut powder (basically dried coconut milk powder). These turned out to be really yummy! Much more moist than normal muffins but with a lovely coconut touch!

PUMPKIN & COCONUT CREAM MUFFINS

• 200 g pumpkin puree
• 6 dates soaked (or extra 2 tbsp honey)
• 1.5 tbsp olive oil
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 25 g coconut cream powder
• 30 g honey
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp baking soda
• 75 g whole wheat flour

1. Blend the pumpkin, dates, oil, honey and egg together until smooth.
2. Sift in the coconut powder, flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon and fold until you obtain a thick batter. Spoon into muffin cases and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes.
