MAKE-AHEAD COCONUT-PINEAPPLE MUFFINS
I make and refrigerate the batter for these not-so-sweet muffins the night before. The next morning, I bake them and they are ready for breakfast or for a quick snack. I sometimes dip them in a brown sugar glaze to sweeten them up a bit.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12 muffin tin with cupcake liners, grease lightly. In a small saucepan, warm your coconut oil just until it melts. It should still be on the cool side. In a medium bowl, whisk together your flours, baking powder and salt. Stir 1/2 cup shredded coconut. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, sugar, coconut oil, coconut milk* crushed, drained pineapple and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients until just combined. Divide batter among prepared muffin cups then sprinkle the top with remaining 1/4 cup coconut. Bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out batter-free, about 20 minutes. Transfer muffins to a rack and let cool. *full fat Greek yogurt may be used in place of coconut milk.
Tips:
- Use fresh or canned pineapple. Fresh pineapple will give your muffins a more intense flavor, but canned pineapple is a good option if you don't have fresh pineapple on hand. Just be sure to drain the canned pineapple well before using it.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly in the oven.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent the muffins from breaking.

These pineapple coconut muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're moist and fluffy, with a sweet and tangy flavor that will tantalize your taste buds. Whether you're serving them for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, these muffins are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a tropical treat, give these pineapple coconut muffins a try!
