Time 1h

Yield 14 to 16 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup vegetable oil, plus extra for the pan (see Cook's Notes)
3 extra-large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups grated carrots, unpeeled and grated on a box grater
1 Granny Smith apple, unpeeled and grated on a box grater
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup raisins
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚ and arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Line two muffin pans with paper muffin cups.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil and vanilla. Add the carrots, apple, pineapple, pecans, coconut and raisins and stir together. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Scoop the batter with a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice cream scoop (I use rounded scoops of batter) into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Place the pans on a baking rack to cool and serve the muffins warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • To ensure your muffins have a tender and moist texture, accurately measure your ingredients and avoid overmixing the batter.
  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk and butter. You can also substitute Greek yogurt for some of the butter to lighten them up a bit.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan, grease or line the muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry them out.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These coconut-pineapple muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They're also a great way to use up leftover coconut milk and pineapple. With their moist texture, sweet flavor, and tropical flair, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
