Easy coconut muffins with coconut flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, coconut milk, shredded coconut, and more! Coconut lovers, come here to thrive!
Here’s your opportunity to use every single form of coconut in one muffin! Made with Coconut Flour (naturally gluten-free), shredded coconut and coconut milk, plus coconut oil and coconut sugar, they are a coconut lover’s dream.
The first time I made these easy coconut muffins with coconut flour, I was blown away by the flavor.
It’s rich, naturally sweet with a hint of creamy flavor that the coconut imparts.
In essence, these healthy muffins taste like coconut through and through.
Health Benefits of Coconut:
Coconut is a fad right now for a good reason. It contains healthy fats, stimulates your metabolism, is a natural antibiotic and anti fungal and has even been said to fight candida.
Trading flour, sugar, oil and milk with coconut milk not only eliminates the health detriments but also adds nutrient density.
How to Make Coconut Muffins with Coconut Flour:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly oil a 12-muffin pan
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours, baking powder and soda, coconut sugar, salt and one cup of the shredded coconut.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the flours and mix until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared muffin pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining half cup of shredded coconut over the batter and bake in the oven for 22 to 25 minutes until a toothpick tests clean.
Store muffins in an airtight container or a zip lock bag in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
When you want to eat a muffin, I recommend microwaving it on a plate for 20 seconds, or until warm.
Next time I bake these, I’ll add blueberries or chopped strawberries for a berry-infused version.
The muffins are great on their own but are also perfect for adding all sorts of fresh or dried fruit and nuts. Dark chocolate chips would be phenomenal too!

Hi Marianna,

Hey! Gave these a try and am really happy with the results! Would you allow me to share this on my blog (giving you credit of course!). Thank you!
First of all I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question which I’d
like to ask if you don’t mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear
your thoughts prior to writing. I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts
in getting my thoughts out. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are
generally lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
Thanks!
OH.MY.YUMMY.GOODNESS! I followed your recipe to a T and let me just say that I (and my family) have a new favorite! We’ve been searching high and low for the flavor of these muffins and your recipe truly delivered! I loved making them, loved reading your instructions, and loved eating them! Thank you so much from my family to yours!
Amandaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I’m so happy you like the muffins!!! I just love how coconutty, creamy, and mild they taste! Coconut is definitely not a for everyone food, so I’m glad you and your family enjoy these muffins as much as I do! Thank you so much for your sweet comment! Warm wishes! xo
Love your website,I discovered it searching for a coconut muffin recipe. Yours looked the best and it was! I can’t believe how easy they were to make-I’m not much of a cook so it has to be easy for me. Entertaining read as well. about to try the blueberry chocolate muffins. ‘Tis the season.
Tracy, I’m so happy you’re interested in the muffins! Let me know if you end up baking a batch! Just a heads up: be sure to follow the exact recipe using full-fat coconut milk – I’ve heard from folks who have tried using lite coconut milk that the recipe didn’t turn out. Welcome to my blog, my dear, and always feel free to reach out if you have any questions 😀
Have you had the gluten free coconut muffins from soup plantation/sweet tomatoes? If so, do these taste similar to it? Thanks!
Hi Gwen, I have not. But these muffins are pretty tasty! Let me know if you try them and if they compare to the ones you’ve had 🙂
Enjoy these muffins warm and they are an almost *exact* replica of the Sweet Tomatoes version!
These look amazing – love the slightly toasty coconut on top. I don’t usually add any other flour to my coconut muffins but I imagine they will be lighter that way. Can’t wait to try them.
These look like breakfast perfection, love the coconut topping!
I love all of the coconut going on in this muffin. They look so moist and delicious!
These are definitely EVERY time of day kinda muffins. Coconut is my favorite of favorites.
I’m a total nut for coconut and these look SO delish, Julia! Lovely recipe and muffins.
I’m giddy with coconut love! These sound fantastic.
These sound soooo yummy. I can never get enough coconut, though it looks like you’re trying to help me out on that!
You got it, lady! I love coconut….from adding coconut milk to smoothies to making coconut flour pancakes, I feel like it’s such a versatile and healthful fruit! Have a great weekend!
Oh I love coconut! I can not get enough of it, I am going to love these muffins!
These are so coconut all up in your face and I love it! No need to be stingy with the coconut…bring it on! Deliciousness.
These seriously look too good to be true! I’m a coconut fanatic, so I’m all over these 🙂
