I know some of my friends don’t like coconut in any form I love everything coconut, the oil, the desiccated, the milk, the cream and I use it for cooking everything from beef, to cake, to cookies, to soup, to pasta and rice, of course. Today is sunny. What a pleasant surprise. I am basking right now and getting my vitamin D at the same time. I am also planning my christmas dinner on the side. I made half the muffins with streusel topping. If you love coconut, you’ll definitely love them. Have a lovely day!!!!
- Ingredients
- 250g (9oz, 2 cups) all-purpose (plain) flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 50g (2oz, ½ cup) shredded coconut
- 180g (6.5oz, ¾ cup) sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 120ml (½ cup) vegetable oil
- 120ml (½ cup) unsweetened coconut milk
- 1½ cups grated zucchini
Please always remember to assemble all ingredients before you start
Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and grease a twelve hole muffin tin (pan) with oil or nonstick cooking spray. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl. Add the shredded coconut and stir until combined, then make a well in the centre.
In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, egg, vegetable oil and coconut milk.
Until thoroughly mixed.
Add the egg-coconut milk mixture into the well
and stir until combined.
Fold in the shredded zucchini.
The final batter
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin (pan). Top with the streusel. I only topped half with streusel
Bake 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes then loosen with a knife and transfer onto the cooling rack.
The streusel topped ones tasted better so next time it will be streusel all the way!
Zucchini Coconut Muffins with Streusel Topping

Instructions

- Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl. Add the shredded coconut and stir until combined, then make a well in the centre.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, egg, vegetable oil and coconut milk.

Points to Note:
- Please note that oven temperatures are given as a guideline only. You may need to add or reduce the suggested temperature depending on your oven. I baked the muffins at 350°F (175°C), convection, for 25 minutes.
- For cup measures: spoon the flour into the cup, heaping it up over the top, then slide a knife across the top to level off the extra. Be careful not to shake or tap the cup to settle down the flour or you will have more than you need. I use a 240ml, American cup.

These muffins look awesome. As you know, I PIN everything of yours… that is, when I take the time to visit. I’m beginning to do a bit of ‘catching up’ lately.
I’m gonna add the unsweetened coconut milk and the zucchini to my shopping list. ; o )
Happy New Year, Cecile, and thanks a million for pinning.
