Ingredients
  

  • Almond flour (2 cups, finely ground or “superfine” for best texture)
  • Coconut flour (2 tablespoons, to help with structure and moisture balance)
  • Unsweetened shredded coconut (1/2 cup)
  • Granulated erythritol or allulose (1/2 cup; adjust to taste)
  • Baking powder (2 teaspoons)
  • Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Eggs (4 large, room temperature)
  • Full-fat coconut milk (1/2 cup, well shaken; or heavy cream)
  • Coconut oil or melted butter (1/3 cup)
  • Vanilla extract (2 teaspoons)
  • Coconut extract (optional, 1/2 teaspoon for extra coconut aroma)
  • Unsweetened coconut flakes (optional, for topping)

Method
 

  1. Prep the tin and oven: Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spritz the liners with oil for easy release.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, coconut flour, shredded coconut, sweetener, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined and lump-free.
  3. Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk eggs, coconut milk, melted coconut oil (or butter), vanilla, and coconut extract if using.
  4. Combine: Pour wet ingredients into dry. Stir with a spatula until just combined. The batter should be thick but scoopable. If it seems too dry, add 1–2 tablespoons more coconut milk.
  5. Fill the cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 liners, about 3/4 full. Sprinkle a pinch of coconut flakes on top if you like a toasty finish.
  6. Bake: Place on the center rack and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are set, lightly golden, and a toothpick comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Allow them to cool fully for the best texture.
  8. Serve: Enjoy plain, with a pat of butter, or a smear of sugar-free jam. They’re great warm or at room temperature.
