Coconut Muffins | With Toasted Almonds

These Coconut Muffins are soft, tasty and chock full of goodies. If you are a coconut fan, these will quickly become your go-to muffin! I love having healthy, quick snack options when life gets busy.

I based these Coconut Muffins off of ones I tried in New Orleans. They were divine. I loved them because of the textures and flavors, plus all the goodies it was loaded with! So so yummy!

Main Ingredients Needed

I love the subtle taste of toasted almonds in these! Toasted almonds combined with shredded coconut is a match made in heaven! To make these Coconut Muffins, start by gathering these ingredients:

  • Coconut Oil + Sugar- sugar for sweetness, oil for flavor, moisture, and texture.
  • Egg– helps to bind everything together.
  • Vanilla + Almond Extract– for flavoring.
  • Milk- for texture and helps bring all the ingredients together.
  • Flour- fills these muffins out.
  • Baking Powder + Baking Soda- our leavening agents used in this recipe.
  • Salt– balances out all of the flavors.
  • Cinnamon–  optional, but is a great addition to these muffins.
  • Toasted Slivered Almonds + Sweetened Shredded Coconut– adds flavor and texture.

Notes

*I think the original muffin recipe I tried in New Orleans had a hint of cinnamon in it, but I didn’t add any to this recipe. BUT, feel free to add a little into these. A little spice would be divine!

      You can try, but coconut flour will soak up any sort of liquid around it, so I wouldn’t recommend it. Try an all-purpose baking blend {I like Pamela’s brand} for the best outcome. That would be a 1:1 substitution.

    Just made these, with Stevia and they are absolutely delicious!!! Been trying to incorporate more coconut oil into our diet and these muffins are spectacular. Thank you so much!!!!!

  2. Janet

    I bought some coconut oil a while back & have never used it – I think I’ll try these delicious looking muffins. This may be a stupid question, but do you melt the coconut oil? Thanks!
