Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 units Large eggs
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 80 milliliters Vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 10 grams Optional: Extra shredded coconut for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, shredded coconut, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
If desired, sprinkle a small amount of shredded coconut on top of each muffin for decoration.
Bake in the preheated oven 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 tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
