Coconut-Orange Mini Tea Muffins image

These delicious little orange-y, buttery, coconutty muffins are from the 1833 Umpleby House Inn in New Hope, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. They're so easy and quick to whip up! I adapted the recipe to make mini-muffins, since that's my preference, but the original directions for making standard-size muffins are included, also. Recipe makes 24 mini-muffins or 12 standard muffins (and has the distinction of being one of the rare baking recipes where the yield is accurate!)

1/2 cup coconut milk (use OJ if none available)
1 egg
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Line muffin tins with paper cups or grease.
  • Chop orange and place in blender, puree.
  • Add in orange juice, coconut milk, egg, and butter.

  • In a large bowl, combing remaining ingredients.
  • Fold in blender contents, mix to combine.
  • Scoop into muffin tins (about 3/4 full).

Tips:

  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly and prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
