Method
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, melted butter, eggs, salt, and baking powder. Use a whisk to blend all the ingredients well until you get a smooth batter.
Divide the batter into three equal portions, about 7.5 oz each. In each portion, add one of the following ingredients to customize the flavor of the muffins:
For almond: add 2 tbsps of almond flour.
For coconut: add 2 tbsps of coconut flour.
For cocoa: add 2 tbsps of sweetened cocoa powder.
Fill the muffin liners with the different batters, ensuring each liner is filled to about 2/3 of its capacity.
For the coconut muffins, sprinkle the top with some grated coconut. For the almond ones, you can add some almond slices on top of the batter.
Bake the muffins at 350°F for about 20-25 minutes, but always do the toothpick test to ensure they are cooked through.
Once out of the oven, let the muffins cool. If you’ve made the cocoa ones, dust them with some powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
If you like, you can decorate the muffins with colorful toothpicks to add a festive look, perfect even for a special gift!
