Calories 259kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup melted coconut oil
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup coconut yoghurt
- juice of 1 small lime approx. 2 tablespoons
- zest of 1 small lime
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
- 2 cups gluten free plain flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ cup desiccated coconut
- 125 grams raspberries
- 1 tablespoon extra white sugar or demerara sugar optional
Instructions
- Line a 12 cup muffin pan with liners and preheat the oven to 220°C/420°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, white sugar, vanilla, coconut yoghurt, lime juice and lime zest. Add in the coconut milk and mix again to combine.
- Directly into the mixing bowl, sift in the gluten free flour and baking powder. Add in the desiccated coconut and using your spatula, mix everything together until just combined and you have a thick batter.
- Add the raspberries and gently fold through the batter until evenly distributed throughout.
- Spoon the thick batter into the prepared muffin pan, ensuring each is evenly full. You want the muffin holes to be basically full. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with either extra white sugar or a course sugar like demerara sugar if you prefer, which just gives the muffin tops extra crunch and sparkle.
- Add the muffins into your hot oven and turn down the temperature to 180°C/350°F. Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer when inserted comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden.
- Let the muffins cool for 10 minutes in the pan before turning out onto a wire rack. Enjoy still warm or allow to cool completely before storing.
Notes
Gluten Free Flour - make sure to use a good quality 1-1 gluten free flour that already contains xanthan gum such as Bobs Red Mill (the blue packet).
