Blueberry and Coconut Muffins
Ingredients
Coconut Crumb:
1/4 cup flakes or shredded coconut
3 tbsp plain flour
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3 tbsp butter, softened
Muffin:
125 ml vegetable oil
200 g caster sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
300 g plain flour
½ tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup flaked or shredded coconut
150 ml buttermilk
250 g blueberries (2 punnets)
Method
Preheat oven on CircoTherm® with VarioSteam® low intensity (if available) to 170⁰C. Line 12 standard muffin pans with liners.
Make the coconut crumb: In a small bowl, rub together the coconut, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter to make coarse crumbs. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Sift together the plain flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon and fold into the sugar mixture. Add the flour mixture and coconut alternately with the buttermilk.
Crush 1 punnet of blueberries with a fork, and mix into the batter. Fold in the remaining whole blueberries. Fill the prepared muffin pans and top with coconut crumb.
Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked and golden. Allow to cool before serving.
Notes
The muffins can be cooked without VarioSteam® using the recommended temperature. These muffins freeze well for up to 1 month. If you have a NEFF Full Steam appliance, use the Reheat function to warm day old or frozen muffins to achieve a ‘just baked quality’.
