Gather These Tools Before You Start Cooking!

• Mixing Bowls: I love having a set of these mixing bowls—especially for keto recipes. They’re the right size for everything from stirring dry ingredients to mixing up a wet batter. Plus, they’re durable and easy to stack for storage.
• Measuring Cups and Spoons: These measuring cups and spoons are essential in every kitchen! They’re precise and easy to use, which is important when it comes to getting the perfect proportions for keto recipes.
• Whisk or Electric Mixer: This whisk is a game-changer for quickly blending wet and dry ingredients. It helps make the batter smooth, and I can’t imagine baking without it!
• Muffin Tin: Once I started using this muffin tin, I never looked back. It’s perfect for baking muffins without worrying about them sticking. The non-stick surface makes cleanup a breeze, and the even heat distribution ensures every muffin comes out just right.
• Parchment Paper or Muffin Liners: Parchment paper or muffin liners are a must for hassle-free muffin removal. They help prevent sticking, making cleanup easier and ensuring my muffins come out in perfect shape every time.

Ingredients & Substitutions

For the Muffins:

• Coconut Flour: A low-carb alternative to regular flour that provides the perfect texture for keto baking. You can’t substitute this with regular flour as it absorbs liquid differently.
• Toasted Coconut Flakes: Adds a rich coconut flavor and a bit of crunch. You can substitute with unsweetened shredded coconut, but toasted coconut brings more depth to the flavor.
• Eggs: These give structure and moisture to the muffins. If you’re egg-free, you can try a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water).
• Butter: Provides richness and moisture. You can substitute with coconut oil if you prefer dairy-free.
• Almond Milk: A dairy-free, low-carb milk option. You can use other unsweetened non-dairy milk, such as coconut milk.
• Baking Powder: To help the muffins rise and get fluffy. Make sure it’s gluten-free if you need it.
• Sweetener: Stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol work well for this recipe. Adjust to taste.
• Vanilla Extract: Adds a warm, aromatic flavor to complement the coconut.

How to Make Keto Toasted Coconut Muffins

Step 1: Toast the Coconut

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the coconut flakes on a baking sheet in an even layer.
2. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, stirring once or twice, until golden and fragrant. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients

2. Stir in your sweetener (start with about 2-3 tbsp, or adjust to taste).

Step 4: Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients

1. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
2. Stir in the toasted coconut flakes and mix well.

Step 5: Bake the Muffins
