Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups milk
• 1 cups shredded sweetened coconut
• 0.5 cups sweetened condensed milk
• 0.25 teaspoons almond extract (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is well combined.

Step 4

Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and almond extract (if using) until well blended. This will be the topping for the muffins.

Step 7

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the coconut mixture onto the top of each muffin, gently pressing it down so it adheres to the batter.

Step 8

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (avoid testing through the coconut topping).

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
