Coconut Muffins

Coconut Muffins

• 1 can (14 ounces) unsweetened Lite Coconut Milk

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 1 egg

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup shredded, sweetened coconut, divided

Preheat the oven to 350. Prepare 12 muffin cups with non-stick spray or paper liners.

Whisk together the coconut milk, sugar, egg, vanilla and coconut extract. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and 2/3 cup of the shredded coconut. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir just until combined.

Divide the batter between the muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 1/3 cup shredded coconut.

Bake at 350 for 18-21 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.

Yields 12 muffins.
