Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Flour
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ cup Desiccated Coconut
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • ½ cup Oil
  • 1 egg Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 ½ cups Strawberries

Equipment

  • Muffin Tin

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F) and get your muffin tin ready.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, coconut, and a pinch of salt. I skip the sifting and just whisk them together—easy and no fuss!
  3. In a measuring jug, whisk together the oil, egg, and vanilla. Then, add enough milk to reach 1 ½ cups of liquid—just pour it right in.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, then mix everything together gently to form your muffin batter. Be careful not to overmix; we want them light and fluffy!
  5. Fold in the strawberries.
  6. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, dividing it evenly between the 12 holes.
  7. Pop the tray in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and spring back when you lightly press the center.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Don’t Overmix: The key to fluffy muffins is to mix only until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins.
  • Storage: Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. This keeps them fresh and delicious.
  • Freezing: You can freeze these muffins for up to four months. Simply wrap them well and place them in a freezer bag. They’ll thaw perfectly for lunchboxes!
  • Check for Doneness: Muffins are done when they spring back when pressed or when a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool Completely: Allow the muffins to cool completely on a wire rack to maintain their texture.
