Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup coconut flour sifted for lightness
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey for natural sweetness
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut optional, for texture and flavor

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Muffin tin or silicone muffin molds
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Sift the coconut flour into the wet ingredients to prevent lumps, then add the baking soda and salt. Stir gently until the batter is just combined.
  4. Fold in the shredded coconut if using, and continue mixing until evenly distributed, being careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature, with a gentle crumble on the outside and a moist, tender crumb inside.
