1 2
3 4
Instructions:
1) Put 1.5 cups of frozen or fresh strawberries in the microwave for 2 minutes.
2) Remove strawberries & add them to a blender (I used a magic bullet)

For the Coconut Flour Chia Filled
POWER MUFFINS
(Vanilla & Chocolate)
Vanilla Version:
3/4 Cup Coconut Flour
1/4 cup of Protein Powder (I used vanilla Sunwarrior)
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 Cup Unsweet Applesauce
1 Cup Unsweet Almond/Coconut Milk blend
(any milk of choice)
3 Egg Whites
2 Whole Eggs
2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
20ish Drops of Liquid Stevia
(you can add 1/2 cup dry sweetener
or 3 TB of sweetener of choice or a mashed banana)
**For Chocolate batter, add in 2 TB Dark Cocoa Powder
with 1/4 cup added liquid!
1) combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl
2) Line a cupcake pan with liners & fill the bottom with batter,
use a spoon to narrow out an opening in the middle
& spread the batter up the sides of the liner!
3) Take your CHIA JAM
add about a Tablespoon or so into the middle.
4) Take another spoonful of the remaining batter to cover the chia jam entirely
& smooth over the top with the back of the spoon!
Bake at 350 Degrees for about 30-35 minutes
They should come out cracked on the tops & golden brown!
This recipe made 11 muffins!
Let cool, cut open,
& ENJOY!!
These power muffins will be dense
and not so “light & fluffy”, just an FYI.
I was having one of these POWER MUFFINS
with my post workout shake after the gym!!
Great way to refuel after a work out!
Hope you try these out & let me know how you like them!!

Those look delicious! I still haven’t tried chia seeds. I need to get on that.
wow!! Soo want to try this when I am back on eggs!
Okay so you’re a flipping kitchen GENIUS!!! When I saw your pics of these on instagram I almost died drooling. Gotta get me some chias to make some pronto!!
yum!! jam filled in muffins is the best, love that burst of flavor. the chocolate ones look reallllly good- i love how they cracked on top
nice recipe girly!
can you say amazing!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE! Pinning & tweeting! I have made your chia jam & shared a while back on a post! Think I will be sharing a link to this too!
LOOK AMAZING!!!!!!
Do you ever figure out nutritional stats on your recipes?
I honestly don’t figure it out but I totally could! I just throw stuff into a bowl and hope it works ;] honestly! And I’m lucky if I remember to write it all down!! haha I’m kind of a kitchen nerd for sure, but these are loaded with healthy calories and protein, hence the “POWER”, so I’m okay with it! ;]
Here are the stats I got!
Per 1 muffin:
106 kcal
7.5g carb
4g. fat
7g protein
3g. sugar
Ahhh! I am SO making these. Looks easy … and I think I *actually* have all of the ingredients! Hmmmmm maybe a project for tonight?
I live the chia jam! I am definitely trying these muffins out. Yay! Anither thing to bake!
What a great idea! I love the looks of these, they look absolutely amazing! I just heart everything coconut flour right now.
my mouth was watering just from reading the title!
Hey Kasey! First off, love the blog and all the recipes ive tried. The blueberry chia jam is awesome. I’ve been transitioning to a fully plant based diet recently but i want to make these muffins. Do you think a flax egg would replace the egg whites well? Or what would you recommend?
yes I think that would work well! Flax is always a great addition! I would also recommend adding maybe some mashed banana to it to give it a little more hold! ;]
These look awesome I’m going to make them this weekend just have a questions how much mashed banana a whole one or half? would you still use stevia if you use the banana?
I cannot wait to try these tomorrow morning!!
These looks so good! Hopefully try them soon!
Ahh why haven’t I tried your strawberry chia jam yet?! I need to make that ASAP!
HOLY YUM! I need to make these ASAP! They look freaking awesome!
Mmmm seriously! Great recipe!! I was led here by Gina’s blog
Yum!! I love your chia jam and these muffins look awesome!!
Wow. This is awesome and they are so beautiful. Someone would pay for that in a bakery. I might try to figure out a single serving variation because that’s how I roll
These look so good! Found you through Running to the Kitchen. Definitely going to give these a try. Maybe tomorrow!
These look amazing! Do you think they would work with blueberries instead? I have all of the ingredients on hand besides strawberries! lol.
absolutely!!
These look so good I whipped up a batch! I got 15 muffins (my tins must be smaller!) and I’m just wondering if they freeze well?
they would definitely freeze well! just make sure they are wrapped securely!
I am totally making these tomorrow! You are a genius at making amazing recipes.
looks delish! I think I would do raspberry too!
hi
may i know is it alright to substitute the coconut flour with almond flour or all purpose flour?
No Xanthan gum? I find i always have to use this in my gfree baking to bind the gfree flours. Otherwise it crumbles. Did these crumble without the xanthan gum???
these look delicious!! would it work to use a lighter/fluffier coconut flour muffin recipe with similar ingredients with the jam in the middle?
Can you substitute pumpkin for the apple sauce. For some reason I just am not so hip on the apple sauce…I try to avoid the excess sugars….But these look amazing. Printing the recipe. I’m a chia jam junkie
Of course you can!!
So, I tried these out and they tasted great, but mine ended up completely different. My batter was not at all thick. Very liquidy. So the chia just kinda went to the bottom and it was a mess. Any thoughts on why it was so much liquid in comparison to yours? The only thing I did differently was use a whole wheat flour instead of coconut flour.
Hi there! So sorry it didn’t turn out for you. I think that the whole wheat flour wouldn’t work as well only because coconut flour is super absorbant so it soaks up a lot of the liquid where wheat flour may not do that. I would recommend decreasing your liquid and adding just until it’s thick!
