Ingredients
1 3/4 cup flour1/3 cup sugar2 tsp baking powder1/4 tsp salt1 cup toasted shredded coconut1 beaten egg3/4 cup coconut milk--such as So Delicious vanilla1/4 cup cooking oil1 cup crushed pineapple--in 100% juice
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

1. Grease muffin cups or use muffin papers
2. In medium bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour through coconut). Make a well in the center and set aside.
3. In another bowl combine wet ingredients--make sure to beat the egg very well.
4. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined.
5. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups. Because gluten free things do not rise as much as their glutinous counterparts, you can fill the cups most of the way to the rim.
6. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden and a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes.

    How is this gluten free with flour in it? Is sky or other flour used? - 9/2/10

    You use a gluten-free all-purpose flour or your favorite gluten free flour blend. My personal favorite is Domata Living Gluten-Free All-purpose Flour blend

    These sound fantastic, and I can't wait to try them, but have a question. Is the pineapple drained, or WITH the juice? Thanks! - 8/30/10

    I dumped in the whole can, juice and all.

    These muffins sounds deliciously tropical and I can't wait to make them! I'll be doing them vegan, and will let you know how they taste. I've been having tremendous success using So Delicious coconut milk beverages in all of my baking! - 8/13/10
