Super-duper simple!

And very yummy!

Oozing blackberry jam & powdered sugar is making my mouth water....

Crazy Cooking Challenge : Blueberry Coconut Lime Puffins

It's Blueberry Muffin Time!!!!

And let me tell ya....I baked alot of blueberry muffin recipes in my hopes of finding the best muffin recipe.  Because you see....in my search over the years to find a great blueberry muffin recipe, I've never been won over.  I'd still rather buy a muffin mix {Betty Crocker is my favorite}.

And then I ran into this recipe...and I think that my husband & I are hooked {because my kids have given up on muffins...I don't think they appreciated this challenge}.

That's right folks....it's a Muffin & a Pancake...and it totally tastes that way.

So I took the idea of this Puffin from the blog, Lady with the Red Rocker, and then I ran with it.  I added some Coconut Syrup {all the way from Hawaii} & some lime zest, and of course some Blueberries.

The coconut added this suprise flavor....my husband had a hard time guessing what was in the muffin.  And do you know what my favorite part of these muffins are???  The fact that they are just about 100 calories each.  EACH.  How awesome is that!
