Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup mini muffin tin with vegetable oil.
Drain the canned tuna and gently flake it into small pieces using a fork.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, Thai fish sauce, and garlic until well combined.
Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour and baking powder, stirring to form a smooth batter.
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.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
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.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a snack or appetizer. Optionally, garnish with extra cilantro and a drizzle of Thai sweet chili sauce.
