Yummy Vegan Blueberry Coconut Muffins

A hobby that I have had for years is snipping recipes from magazines. I save the ones that look interesting and organize them in a little notebook. They don't even have to be vegan recipes because you can always convert a non-vegan recipe into a vegan one. 

Awhile ago I made these yummy "Blueberry-Coconut Crunch Muffins" from a recipe originally posted in Sunset magazine that I saved and then vegan-ized. They were really easy to make and super yummy.


In a large bowl, mix together:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup vegan sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
In another bowl, mix together:
  • 1 cup applesauce
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3/4 cup vegan milk
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla.


Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until evenly just moistened. Stir in 1 1/4 cup frozen blueberries. Divide the batter evenly into a muffin tin either sprayed with non-stick spray or lined with muffin paper.

In another bowl, mix together 1/3 cup chopped pecans, 1/3 cup shredded coconut, and 3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the muffins.

Bake at 425 for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for about 5 minutes. These are great as either a breakfast treat or a dessert. The combination of the lime, the blueberries, the vanilla and the coconut make these really flavorful and yummy!

Ambo Ethiopian: 902 N State Street #104

The moment I have been dreaming of for over a year now has finally happened--Mulunesh Belay has opened Ambo Ethiopian again, now in it's new location!  As soon as I heard the news, I knew I would be there for the very first moment that she opened. I did not want to miss a moment and I could barely stand the waiting. Yesterday, November 16, 2019, was the grand opening in the new restaurant on N. State Street, and my husband and I went with some friends to celebrate and once again enjoy Mulu's amazingly delicious cuisine. (And yes, we were the very first ones there). I ordered the kale and yellow split peas and everything was just as good as I had remembered. I am already planning when I can eat there again (which will be tomorrow evening, in case you are wondering, followed most likely by multiple evenings this week!!). Over this past year, I have missed the delicious vegan food from Ambo Ethiopian, and Mulu's beautiful bright smile, more than I can say, and I am

Bayou on Bay: 1300 Bay Street

Not only does Bayou have several vegan options on their menu, they also have weekend vegan brunch options! If you have not yet tried the vegan hash, I recommend it.  This mouth-watering dish takes potatoes, avocado, onions, other veggies--cooked just right and combined with the perfect amount of seasoning--to create a fantastic dish you will want to eat again and again. Weekends are just that much better when you can incorporate brunch at Bayou into them!

Pigs Peace Sanctuary: 27631 56th Ave NW, Stanwood, WA

I can't believe I have wanted to visit the Pigs Peace Sanctuary for nearly 20 years, and then finally, yesterday, my wish came true. And the experience was truly amazing. If you are not yet familiar with the Pigs Peace Sanctuary, I encourage you to learn more about it. We are so lucky to have such a valuable place so nearby Bellingham. Not only does it provide a safe place for rescued animals to recover from trauma and live out their lives in peace and happiness, it also offers humans a place to connect with and learn more about these beautiful, often misunderstood creatures.  Judy Woods and  the volunteers that help her are doing really incredible work and you cannot help but be moved by the stories of bravery, survival, recovery, and connection that Judy shares with you when you visit the sanctuary. Tour appointments have to be scheduled and approved with Judy in advance, and people are eligible to sign up as volunteers with the sanctuary after attending a tour. My tour
