Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- In a medium bowl, sift 1 cup of self-raising flour to ensure it’s clump-free. Set it aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
