raspberry coconut muffins

I can’t stop eating these muffins. I’ve had…four…in no longer than 24 hours. And it’s not only because I have such a sweet tooth, but most of all because they’re just that good. Moist, buttery, oozing with raspberry juices and smelling like delicious coconut, they’re some of the best muffins I’ve ever made — just as good as these blueberry muffins and apple all-bran muffins. Needless to say that they didn’t last very long on the kitchen counter after baking them on Sunday.

Remember this raspberry blackberry coconut loaf cake? Jon has been asking me to bake it again. I wanted to try something new yet similar this weekend, so I sought inspiration in a raspberry muffin recipe on Jamie Oliver’s website, adding a coconut twist to it.

You can use fresh or frozen raspberries for this recipe, but the trick is to carefully fold them into the muffin batter so that it doesn’t turn pink with berry juices. To make the perfect muffins, it is important to mix the ingredients slowly with a spatula just until combined, rather than beat them with hand mixer. Enjoy!
