Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
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.
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.
Gently fold in the chopped macadamia nuts, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
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.
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.
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.
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.
