How to Make Coconut Orange Mini Tea Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) for mini muffins or 375°F (190°C) for standard muffins.
  2. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin or a 12-cup standard muffin tin.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon orange zest, ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice, and 2 large eggs until well combined.
  5. Stir in 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut.
  6. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle a little extra coconut on top of each muffin.
  8. Bake mini muffins for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Bake standard muffins for 22-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
