catch up day 21 - blueberry muffins

Catch up from 2/21: Tonight I made some blueberry muffins loosely following this recipe.  Maybe I should have followed it more closely because they didn't really turn out the way I wanted.  I made the following substitutions: coconut oil for butter, wheat flour for 1 cup for white flour, agave nectar for 2 T brown sugar.  I used a little over a cup of frozen blueberries.  The result is a pretty greasy muffin.  I usually use a mixture of fats when baking, but this time I decided to just use coconut oil, and I think that was my mistake.  The muffins could also use a little lemon or something else to make them a little tart.  I guess my blueberries are too sweet!  I grated some lemon zest and squeezed a little juice over the muffins, we'll see how that works tomorrow!
