Vegan Muffins Monthly: Polkaroo Muffins (Vegan, GF)

This is really silly, I don't know if any of you guys used to watch Polkaroo, actually more specifically Polkadot Shorts. It was a Canadian show, so maybe not...You know how small little details from shows stay in your mind? Polkaroo and his pet friend Bibble always ate blueberry orange cookies. I don't know why but I've always remembered that! Anyways I loved the chocolate-orange oats we made the other day so I wanted to make some kind of orange muffin. These turned out more like cupcakes...hey, fine by me. So many memories from this video!! Polkaroo and Bibble definitely had it right, blueberry and orange somehow go together really well:

1/4 cup coconut butter

Combine dry ingredients in small bowl and wet ingredients in large bowl. Add dry into wet and stir until incorporated. Spoon into well oiled muffin tin and bake at 350F for 24-26 minutes. Once cooled, drizzle on orange glaze and sprinkle with orange zest.

This is our favourite Jam (Wild Blueberry), there's literally no sugar added.
