  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon Poppy seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk

  2. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
  3. Measure and assemble all ingredients for a smooth workflow.
  4. Whisk together the flour, sugar, shredded coconut, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  5. Stir the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in another bowl until combined.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined to avoid developing gluten.
