Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup chopped toasted almonds
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 12 cup muffin pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix flour, shredded coconut, sugar, almonds, baking powder, orange zest, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk, orange juice, olive oil, and vanilla extract. Pour into the flour mixture, and stir until just blended. Transfer to the prepared muffin pan.
  • Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Turn onto a wire rack to cool before serving.
