healthy coconut muffins

These super moist, slightly sweet coconut muffins were inspired by this recipe from Chocolate-Covered Katie (one of my favorite blogs).

• 2 cups gluten-free all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup light canned coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds + 6 tablespoons water
• 2 cups applesauce
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon rum extract
• 1/3 cup shredded coconut

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl and mix wet ingredients together in a small bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix well. Transfer batter to muffin pan and bake for ~20 minutes. Makes 16 muffins.
