Servings: persons

2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 lime
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 large egg
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
1 cup powdered sugar
1 fresh lime about 2 tablespoons
1 fresh lime sliced thinly, for garnish

1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and lightly mist a KitchenAid(R) Nonstick Muffin Pan with non-stick spray, or line with cupcake papers.
2
Fit the KitchenAid(R) Stand Mixer with the whip attachment, and place the flour, coconut, baking powder, salt, and lime zest in the smaller mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Set aside.
3
Place the sugar and coconut oil in the larger bowl of the KitchenAid(R) Stand Mixer, and mix on medium speed with the whip attachment. Mix in the egg until incorporated. Slowly pour in the coconut milk and coconut extract, and stir until combined.
4
Switch to the dough hook attachment and add the dry ingredients into the wet. Stir on medium speed until just barely combined. Do not overmix, or the muffins could come out tough. Batter will be lumpy.
5
Place about 1/2 cup of batter into each well of the KitchenAid(R) Nonstick Muffin Pan, and bake for 5 minutes. Without opening the oven door, turn the temperature down to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
6
Cool completely.

Glaze the muffins
8
Place the powdered sugar and lime juice in a small bowl and stir to combine.
9

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
