Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 0.75 cups Freshly squeezed orange juice
• 0.25 cups Coconut milk
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 unit Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the 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, salt, shredded coconut, and orange zest.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, coconut milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5

Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
