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.
