Made with coconut flour and coconut milk, these muffins are moist, fluffy, and bursting with coconut flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut, for topping

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Add in the melted coconut oil, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  6. Sprinkle shredded coconut on top of each muffin, pressing it gently into the batter.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
