Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
• 0.75 cups Coconut milk
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Coconut extract (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and shredded sweetened coconut until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and coconut extract (if using).

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly across the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Once cooled, lightly dust the tops with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy your Coconut Cream Muffins, either warm or at room temperature!
