Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, if fresh are not available)

Optional: extra shredded coconut for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a mini muffin pan by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

    Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, shredded coconut, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring there are no clumps.

      Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the coconut milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

        Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold the two mixtures together until just combined. It's important not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are acceptable!

          Incorporate Blueberries: Carefully fold in the blueberries, being gentle to avoid breaking them apart too much, which can change the color of the batter.

            Fill the Muffin Pan: With the use of a cookie scoop or a spoon, fill each muffin cavity about three-quarters full with the batter. If you like, sprinkle a little extra shredded coconut on top of each muffin bite for an appealing texture and flavor boost.

              Bake: Transfer the muffin pan to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. The muffins are ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them—the tops should be lightly golden.

                Cool: Once baked, allow the muffin bites to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: These delightful Blueberry Coconut Muffin Bites are best enjoyed warm or at room temperature. They make a scrumptious snack or a delightful breakfast treat!
