Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.75 cups crushed pineapple (drained)
- 0.5 cups ripe mango (diced)
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups well.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Stir in the shredded coconut and set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt until smooth.
Add the drained crushed pineapple, diced mango, and lime zest to the wet mixture and gently stir to combine.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your tropical muffins!
