How to make GF Coconut Muffins

Whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Set aside.
Mix eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until well integrated.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and mix until incorporated. Don’t overmix.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Fill the muffin cups ¾ full, dividing the mixture as evenly as possible. Sprinkle with shredded coconut (optional).
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top. A toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins should come out clean, with no streaks of batter.
Let cool before removing to a wire rack.
