Depending on the time of year (summer..no problem; winter\u2026a problem) you might need to warm it up. You could either scoop out the required amount of coconut oil and place it in a glass measuring cup on your stovetop as the oven preheats. Or it can be microwaved for approximately 30+ seconds (depending on the quantity you need) and then stirred. Either way, add it into your mixing bowl and combine with other liquid ingredients prior to adding room temperature eggs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #f7071f;\">\u2665 \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 \u2665<\/span><\/p>\n<p>God loves you!<span style=\"color: #f7071f;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u2665\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0(Don\u2019t ever forget that!)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #f7071f;\">\u2665\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0coleen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I don\u2019t know about your area, but we have had strawberries in abundance here in upstate NY\u2026and they have been beautiful and fragrant and delicious! \u00a0My granddaughter, Kaylie Joy, just LOVES strawberries! \u00a0I had made a batch of these muffins and when she tasted one, she asked if we could bake some together\u2026how could [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":18936,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[15],"tags":[2184,3038,235,9159,425,1897,483,1016,6001],"class_list":["post-26760","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-at-home-with-gch","tag-almond-flour","tag-at-home-w-gch","tag-coleen-hayden","tag-gf","tag-girlfriends-coffee-hour","tag-gluten-free","tag-healthy-but-oh-so-yummy","tag-strawberries","tag-strawberry-muffins","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/2014-04-04-14.56.15.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p39pHp-6XC","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26760","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26760"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26760\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26762,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26760\/revisions\/26762"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
