Coconut and raspberry muffins (vegan)


These lovely muffins are made exclusively with vegan ingredients, they're a tad crunchy from all the coconut in the crust and filled with a soft and runny pool of raspberry jam that drips from the inside when you eat them. They taste clean and bright, and the flavor combination of coconut and raspberry is a classic.
The ingredient list isn't fancy like in other vegan baked sweets out there (full of egg replacements or other chemical stuff) and they're quite easy to make. I made these during the pre-Easter lent period and they were lovely. Enjoy :)
Recipe adapted from here.

Last year: Dulceață de gutui (Romanian quince jam) (vegan).
Two years ago: Chicken and pomegranate molasses stew (Middle Eastern-style).
Three years ago:Penne alla vodka (Italian-American).
Four years ago: Baby making and no cooking :).





Ingredients (for 12):
  • 250 g flour
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 225 g caster sugar
  • 250 ml sparkling mineral water
  • 125 ml sunflower or grapeseed oil
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla powder sugar
  • 3-4 tablespoons coconut flakes (plus a bit extra to sprinkle tops)
  • 12 tablespoons raspberry jam

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Line the muffin tin with muffin papers. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, coconut and vanilla sugar:

Make a well in the middle and add the oil and mineral water. Mix well into an even batter. Fill up the muffin papers half way up, then gently drop a tablespoon of raspberry jam into each:

Divide the remaining batter between the muffin cups to cover the jam filling, then sprinkle some extra coconut flakes on top of each:

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Take out and allow to cool a bit:

Transfer on a serving platter and they're done.

Dig in! :)
