Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup natural oil
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180ºC). Line 12 muffin cups with liners or lightly grease them.
  • 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.

Notes

Store the muffins covered at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them in an air-tight container or freezer bag.
