Simple coconut muffins! Great for lunch boxes!
Millie and I made these today!
Ingredients:
150g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
100g sugar
50g desiccated coconut
125ml milk
3 tbsp coconut oil, melted (could use butter or sunflower or rice bran oil etc)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten
Add the coconut to the milk and soak for an hour or so.
Preheat oven to 180°C/Gas 4 and line a muffin tin with 12 small paper cases or could make 6 large muffins.
Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add the sugar then the wet ingredients. Fold together, scraping the sides as you go, until combined.
Divide into cases and bake for 20-25 minutes until skewer comes out clean. These would be finished perfectly with some runny icing (icing sugar mixed with a small amount of water) but the cupboard was sadly lacking icing sugar!
yum, your beautiful muffins just make me get in the kitchen immediately and bake something, I really miss the flavor of shredded coconut in the baked goods, the aroma in the oven is too good ^^
