Gluten-Free Coconut Muffins

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.

Step 2
Sift coconut flour together with baking powder, salt, and baking soda into a bowl and set aside.

Step 3
Whisk eggs, coconut milk, sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the liquid.

Step 4
Fold 1 cup coconut flakes into the batter. Distribute the batter evenly among the prepared cups, filling them 2/3 of the way full. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup coconut flakes over the tops of the muffins.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes.

Step 6
Cool muffins in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes before removing them to continue cooling directly on the wire rack.
