Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut sweetened or unsweetened
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple drained
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with muffin liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well mixed.
  3. Stir in the shredded coconut, ensuring it gets evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the crushed pineapple, coconut milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
  6. Spoon the muffin batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Baking
  1. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  2. Once baked, 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.

Notes

For an extra flavor twist, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for an aromatic kick! Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
