Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.5 cups sweetened condensed milk
- 0.25 teaspoons almond extract (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is well combined.
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
In a small bowl, mix the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and almond extract (if using) until well blended. This will be the topping for the muffins.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the coconut mixture onto the top of each muffin, gently pressing it down so it adheres to the batter.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (avoid testing through the coconut topping).
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
