Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1 cups Chopped macadamia nuts
• 0.25 cups Shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave or on the stovetop, and let it cool slightly. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be slightly lumpy, which is okay.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped macadamia nuts, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. If using shredded coconut, sprinkle a small amount on top of each muffin for a tropical touch.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Enjoy your Hale Koa macadamia nut muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
