coconut peach muffins with coconut oat crumb

It's a known fact, I have some of the worst acne known to mankind. It's stubborn too. I've tried using pretty much every product that claims it will get rid of zits, but nothing. ever. works. We've decided that it might be due to something in my diet. My mom thinks it yogurt or sugar. YOGURT OR SUGAR?????? I have yogurt and fruit pretty much every day for breakfast. And sugar? Well, you're reading this blog, aren't you? I'm not happy. 

We've decided to cut out some of those things from my diet. SO for the next couple weeks to a month, I'm going on a dairy-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free diet. I hate the d-word. Really I do. I prefer "eating clean", but when you take out all that stuff I'm pretty sure it's inevitable. Anyways, this will be an interesting few weeks. I'm hoping it will help my skin clear up {!!!!!} and kickstart some good eating habits. We'll just have to see! Of course since my birthday is on Thursday {the big one five} I'll have a free-pass. Brownie sundaes? Don't mind if I do. 

I'm just going to warn you, the blog might be a little dead for awhile, but I'll do my best to post as much as possible. You bet your bucket full of sugar, I'll share any good healthy recipes I find. Links to gluten, dairy, and sugar-free recipes would be great! I'm actually a little excited to put my baking skills to the test and see what I can come come up with. 

STUPID ACNE, YOU SHALL NOT KICK ME OUT OF THE KITCHEN!

So, muffins. I made these a couple days ago aaaaaand I'm pretty sure I've found the perfect base for muffins. After pans. and pans. and pans. and pans. and pans. of muffins, I think the base of this batch was just perfect. Super fluffy, tender, and not overly sweet. Plus, the combo of coconut, peach, and the spices in the crumb? Oh my gosh, you guys. It's so warm and homey, you might die of coziness. Also, the crumb is pure craziness. As my dad was shoving muffins down his throat, he told me I made a "meeeeeean crumb." Accurate. The topping turned out so flavorful and crunchy, it almost reminded me of granola! Yum.

For the love of all things peachy, make these!
