Coconut Recipe – Almond Coconut Muffins

My family loves these muffins and I love that they are lower in sugar.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup white sugar
• ¼ cup stevia
• 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• ½ cup butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• ½ teaspoon almond extract
• 1 cup flaked coconut
• ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
• ½ cup sliced almonds

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups.
2. Combine flour, sugar, stevia, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Whisk sour cream, butter, and eggs together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture just until batter is moistened. Fold coconut and chocolate chips into batter. Fill the prepared muffin cups 2/3-full with batter and top with sliced almonds.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool muffins for 5 minutes in the tin before transferring to a wire rack.
