One bowl of coconut muffins is divine for all coconut lovers. But these sweetened coconut muffins will be loved by all. I bet you love this muffin for your breakfast and snacks. It is going to be on your regular baking menu!

These One-bowl easy coconut muffins are delicious and easy and need a handful of cake ingredients readily available in your pantry. This coconut muffin is full of sweetened coconut flakes. You can feel the coconutty flavour in every bite. Bake and you too will enjoy it like me.

I always bake small batches of muffins for my evening coffee time. Whenever I bake muffins, I swear they vanish with no time. It happens for muffins and cupcakes before I take a decent picture for my blog.

These coconut muffins are perfect for breakfast or snacks. It is the best for packing snack boxes for all. Also, when you have no idea for breakfast, these muffins come in handy and get ready with just 30 minutes from preparing to baking.

I have used store-bought sweetened coconut flakes for this recipe. You can use fresh coconut shaves mixed with a few teaspoons of granulated or caster sugar.

Lemon and coconut pair well. Also, mango and coconut are my favourites.

Any mix-ins like dried fruits and nuts are purely your choice.

I add vanilla extract to the muffins. You can add crushed cardamom, cinnamon, or nutmeg flavours. Adding flavours is completely your preference.

How to make one bowl easy coconut muffins?

It is a simple one-bowl muffin recipe, which you can whip within a few minutes. Firstly, in a wide bowl, add egg and caster sugar. Whisk them in an electric beater for two minutes until it is well combined. Add oil to the egg-sugar mixture. Now sift all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda into the wet mixture. Beat the mixture gently for a few seconds. Now add vanilla extract and sweetened coconut flakes and mix it gently with a spatula. Do not over-mix the muffin batter. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 C (I used a microwave convection oven). Transfer the muffin batter to the cups and bake it for about 15 to 18 minutes or until the inserted skewer comes out clean.
