These muffins are likely to coax even the sleepiest person out of bed! The saturated fat in coconut oil is a medium-chain fatty acid and 50 percent is lauric acid, both of which are easily broken down in the body and have multiple health benefits. Coconut oil can help reduce the risk of diabetes, supports heart health, and fights inflammation in the body.
