Ingredients

• 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna in water
• 0.5 cup Coconut milk
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce
• 2 Eggs
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 Red chili, finely chopped (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup mini muffin tin with vegetable oil.

Step 2

Drain the canned tuna and gently flake it into small pieces using a fork.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, Thai fish sauce, and garlic until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour and baking powder, stirring to form a smooth batter.

Step 5

Fold the flaked tuna, chopped cilantro, green onions, and red chili (if using) into the batter. Add salt and pepper to taste and mix thoroughly.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature as a snack or appetizer. Optionally, garnish with extra cilantro and a drizzle of Thai sweet chili sauce.
