Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and shredded coconut until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
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.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
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.
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.
Enjoy your coconut muffins as-is, or serve with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
