Vegan Coconut Berry Muffins are a delightful and wholesome treat that combines the natural sweetness of berries with the tropical flavor of coconut. These muffins are not only vegan but also packed with nutritious ingredients, making them a perfect choice for a healthier indulgence.
To make vegan coconut berry muffins, you’ll need flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, baking soda, salt, plant-based milk (such as almond or coconut milk), coconut oil, maple syrup (or another sweetener of your choice), vanilla extract, mixed berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries), and optionally, some additional shredded coconut for topping.
Start by preheating your oven and lining a muffin tin with paper liners. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.
Gently fold in the mixed berries, being careful not to crush them. Distribute the batter evenly among the prepared muffin liners, filling them about three-quarters full. If desired, sprinkle some additional shredded coconut on top of each muffin for added texture and flavor.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, these vegan coconut berry muffins are ready to be enjoyed. They make a delightful breakfast or snack, offering a burst of fruity flavor from the mixed berries and a subtle hint of coconut throughout. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
Vegan coconut berry muffins are a wonderful way to incorporate the goodness of berries and coconut into a delicious baked treat. They are not only vegan-friendly but also free from refined sugars, making them a healthier alternative to traditional muffins. Indulge in these flavorful muffins guilt-free and savor the combination of coconut and juicy berries in every bite.
