Ingredients

Dry ingredients:
  • 2 cups whole-wheat flour If you don't have a kitchen scale, measure the flour by first whisking it in its container, then spooning it into a measuring cup, and leveling the top with a knife, white, 240 g
  • 3 tablespoon coconut flour For a sweeter muffin, sub granulated sugar of choice.
  • 4 teaspoon garam masala Tested with Frontier brand, specifically. TIP: Not sure yet whether you like garam masala? Cut the amount to 2 tsp, and add 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup dried coconut unsweetened, optional
Wet ingredients:
  • 1 can coconut milk 13.5 ounce, lite or full-fat
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping (optional):
  • ⅛ teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 ½ tablespoon granulated sugar of choice, such as coconut, brown, or cane sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a 12-cup muffin pan, or use liners or a silicone pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the wet ingredients. Combine the topping ingredients (garam masala and sugar) in a small bowl, and set aside.
  3. Pour wet into dry, and gently stir to incorporate. Do not overmix the batter (it's okay if it's a little lumpy).
  4. Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops with the sugar-spice mixture. Bake 17 to 20 minutes or until the centers are firm when lightly pressed.
