Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fine almond flour
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup granular keto sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or a blend), plus more to taste
  • 2 tsp baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk from a carton)
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or avocado oil
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp coconut extract (optional, for extra coconut flavor)
  • 1–2 tbsp water, if needed to adjust batter consistency

Method
 

  1. Prep your pan: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). If your liners tend to stick, lightly mist them with oil.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, shredded coconut, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined and lump-free.
  3. Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, melted oil, vanilla, and coconut extract (if using) until smooth.
  4. Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until a thick, scoopable batter forms. If the batter seems dry or stiff, add 1–2 tablespoons of water to loosen slightly. It should not be runny.
  5. Portion: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 liners. The cups should be about 3/4 full. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon for even baking.
  6. Bake: Place on the center rack and bake for 18–22 minutes. They’re done when the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool: Let the muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps set the crumb and prevents sticking.
  8. Optional finish: For a bakery-style touch, brush the warm tops with a tiny bit of melted coconut oil and sprinkle with a pinch of unsweetened shredded coconut.
