Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Jam (strawberry, raspberry, or your favorite flavor)
• 0.25 cup Additional shredded coconut (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and tender.

Step 5

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the muffin batter into each prepared muffin cup, spreading to cover the bottom.

Step 6

Add about 1 teaspoon of jam to the center of each muffin cup, taking care to keep the jam away from the edges.

Step 7

Cover the jam with another tablespoon of muffin batter, ensuring the jam is fully enclosed.

Step 8

Sprinkle a small amount of additional shredded coconut on top of each muffin for added texture and flavor.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the edges (not the jam center) comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the surprise jam filling in the center of each bite!
