Coconut Muffins

This morning, I wanted something a little different for breakfast. Wheetbix and toast just weren't cutting it and my sweet tooth was aching (or it might have been my wisdom teeth, but either way, I was hungry and wanted something good).

The cupboard is looking a little bare today as we haven't been shopping in about a week. So, when I found half a packet of coconut, it was like a little gold bar in the back of the pantry. With my base ingredient it wasn't hard to scrape together all that I needed for coconut muffins.

Why hello there, breakfast. You look awfully scrumptious.

Coconut Muffins 

(Makes 12)

Ingredients 

 

1 cup desicated coconut 

2 cups self raising flour 

1/2 cup sugar 

pinch of salt 

1 egg 

1 cup milk 

1/2 cup oil 

 

Method

There is no method. No, really. You just throw everything into a bowl and stir it. Actually, crack the egg. But aside from that, you're gold. Just as the muffins should be after about 15-20 minutes in a 190 degree oven.

They aren't very sweet, but as an indulgent breakfast, they're still pretty great. And, best of all, ludicrously cheap. I tend to buy Coles brand whenever I can, and for this recipe, it has paid off.

Price

55c for the coconut
5c for the flour

12c for sugar

37c for the egg

25c for the milk

37c for the oil

I didn't factor in the salt because lets be honest, a 'pinch' isn't an easy number to calculate. But, for those of you that are as lazy as me, added up, this cost me $1.71. For twelve muffins and a happy little sweet tooth, that not bad.
