Strawberry And Lime Coconut Muffins
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
- 1 3/4 cups plain all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 cup flaked coconut
- 1/2 cup caster or superfine sugar
- 3/4 cup coconut milk
- Juice and zest of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 75ml/2.5fl ozs. coconut oil (melted)
- 1 egg
- 250g/8.83ozs strawberries (the bigger the better)
Step 1 - Preheat oven to 160C/320F and line a muffin tray with 12 liners. In a bowl whisk the flour, baking powder, coconut and sugar. In a jug measure the coconut milk, lime zest, lime juice, vanilla, coconut oil and egg and whisk to combine.
Step 2 - Make a well in the centre of the dry mix and add in the liquid in 2-3 lots stirring until just combined. Place back in the jug and pour it into the prepared liners filling the cavities up about 3/4 of the way up.
Step - Wash and hull the strawberries and slice them thinly. Fan out over the top of the muffins-about one strawberry per muffin depending on their size. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are done.
