Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cups Crushed pineapple (drained)
• 1 cups Fresh mango (diced)
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoons Lime zest (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and shredded coconut until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the crushed pineapple, diced mango, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and whole milk.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into the well. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the lime zest for a touch of citrus brightness.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
