Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Enjoy your coconut muffins as-is, or serve with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
