Fun Ideas for Cupcakes - Cupcake Sprinkles, Cupcake Pans, Cupcake Decorations and More
I love a delicious cupcake. (Check out My Favorite New Gluten Free Cupcake Mix - just tried these last week and they were fantastic for anyone craving yummy gluten free cupcakes with decadent fudge frosting. And yes, that link will also share my favorite ooey gooey Chocolate Fudge Frosting recipe! It is SOOOO good it's insane.)

Raspberry Buttermilk Coconut Muffins Recipe - from Newspaper
Adding buttermilk to muffin recipes calling for milk will create delicious, tender muffins. Treat your family with this gourmet treat - Raspberry Buttermilk Coconut Muffins.
Raspberry Buttermilk Muffins with Coconut
(from the Victoria Times Colonist Newspaper)
Serve these flavourful muffins warm with butter.
Makes 9 large muffins
1 3/4 cups (425 mL) all-purpose flour (for gluten free - try a gluten free flour mix)
1 teaspoon (5 mL) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) salt
1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) baking soda
1/2 cup (125 mL) unsweetened medium coconut flakes (divided)
1 large egg, beaten
1/3 cup (75 mL) granulated sugar
1 cup (250 mL) buttermilk
3 tablespoons (50 mL) melted butter
1 teaspoon (5 mL) pure vanilla extract
1 cup (250 mL) fresh raspberries
Preheat the oven to 375F (190C). Lightly spray nine cups of a 12-cup muffin tin with vegetable oil. In a large bowl, whisk the first four ingredients with 1/4 cup of the coconut flakes.
In a second bowl, beat egg with sugar, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla. Sprinkle raspberries with 2 tablespoons of the dry ingredients. Toss to coat. Combine wet and dry ingredients in swift strokes. Batter will be a little lumpy. Gently fold in floured raspberries. Scoop muffin batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with remaining coconut. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until puffed and golden.Labels: best muffins, buttermilk, coconut, newspaper recipes, raspberry
