Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.75 cups crushed pineapple (drained)
• 0.5 cups ripe mango (diced)
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon lime zest

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the shredded coconut and set aside.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt until smooth.

Step 5

Add the drained crushed pineapple, diced mango, and lime zest to the wet mixture and gently stir to combine.

Step 6

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your tropical muffins!
