Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

Instructions

Notes

A few notes to make grocery shopping and baking this recipe a little easier:

  • A 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple worked well for this recipe. I drained it and measured out a cup and didn’t have munch remaining.
  • I bought a 10 ounce bag of matchstick carrots and used almost all of them. They’re kind of awkward to measure out, so if you have a food scale, 3 1/2 cups comes out to about 220 grams of matchstick carrots.
  • Do not skip the additional sprinkle of granulated sugar on the tops of the muffins at the end. It’s my favorite part and adds a slight sugary crunch to top muffin tops that makes them so, so delicious.
