Ingredients

  • 1 Cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 Cup coconut shredded
  • 1/2 Cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or line 8 muffin tins.
  • In a medium sized bowl sift together the flour, coconut, baking powder and the salt. NOTE - keep one tablespoon of flour separate.
  • In a large mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar for about 2 minutes. After the mixture is pale and fluffy, add the eggs one at a time mixing until they are incorporated into the batter. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
  • Next, add half the flour to the batter and stir in gently. Then add the yogurt and mix in the remaining flour.
  • Toss the raspberries in the remaining tablespoon of flour. Fold the raspberries into the batter.
  • Pour batter into your prepared muffins tins and bake anywhere from 15 - 20 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center and when just a few crumbs come off, it is done. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for just a few minutes. Remove from pan after about 5 minutes and let it cool for a further few minutes. These can be served straight away.
