Passionfruit and coconut muffins

Indulge in the tropical flavors with these easy-to-make Passionfruit and Coconut Muffins. Perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack, these muffins combine the tangy taste of passionfruit with the creamy and rich flavor of coconut. Using wholesome ingredients like buttermilk and maple syrup, they offer a delightful balance of sweetness and healthiness.

Ingredients:

1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1 cup passion fruit
230g
1/2 cup buttermilk
120g
1/3 cup maple syrup
72g
1 egg
50g
1/3 cup canola oil
72g
1 tbsp coconut meat
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the muffin cups well with a non-stick spray or a bit of oil.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, sift 1 cup of self-raising flour to ensure it’s clump-free. Set it aside.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk 1 egg until lightly beaten.
- Add 1 cup of passionfruit pulp, ½ cup of buttermilk, 1/3 cup of maple syrup, and 1/3 cup of canola oil to the egg. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the sifted self-raising flour into the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or a wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can create dense muffins.
- Fold in 1 tablespoon of coconut meat gently until it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Fill the Muffin Tin:
- Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, evenly divide the muffin batter among the 12 muffin cups. Fill each cup about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
6. Bake:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- The tops should be lightly golden and spring back when lightly touched.
7. Cool:
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the muffins directly to the wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve:
- Enjoy your passionfruit and coconut muffins warm or at room temperature! They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to a week.

Tips:

- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting to ensure even mixing and baking.

- For a more intense coconut flavor, consider using coconut oil instead of canola oil.

- Fresh passion fruit pulp works best, but you can use canned or frozen pulp if fresh is unavailable.

- Don’t overmix the batter; stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened to keep the muffins light and fluffy.

- Sprinkle shredded coconut on top before baking for an added texture and flavor boost.

- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely – this helps them set properly.

These Passionfruit and Coconut Muffins are a delightful way to bring a tropical twist to your baked goods repertoire. Simple to prepare and brimming with natural flavors, they make a perfect treat for any time of day.
