Macadamia nuts and coconut oil are a perfect combination, and they make a delicious and moist muffin. Macadamia nuts are extremely high in fat and calories and intolerant people should not eat this nut. Macadamia nuts should be used in moderation, as they contain a lot of calories. Macadamia nuts are rich in unsaturated fats which are considered to be good for the heart. Macadamia nuts are also high in antioxidants and can help control blood pressure and improve cholesterol.

Sometimes you have to have a little fun with life. So, grab a box of macadamia nuts, some coconut flour, egg whites, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Then grab a muffin tin and get baking. You can make these muffins in one, two, or even three batches. But make sure you make more than enough for the one batch number you choose..

Muffins with Coconut and Macadamia Nuts

Ingredients

• flour (two cups)
• 2 tblsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. bicarbonate of soda
• 1 cinnamon sachet
• a quarter teaspoon of salt
• 1 pound of sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup melted butter (melted)
• a quarter cup of milk
• 1 tblsp coconut oil
• 8 oz. crushed pineapple with juice in a can
• 1 1/2 cups coconut flakes (sweetened) (lightly toasting will enhance the coconut flavor)
• 3/4 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped (toast first to bring out flavor)
• White chocolate chips, 3/4 cup

Note

These coconut macadamia nut muffins are a filling breakfast, snack, or dessert option.

They aren’t too sweet. To toast the coconut flakes and nuts, I suggest using a pan. Toast over medium heat, stirring often to avoid burning. Because of the sugar in the coconut, everything occurs fast once it begins to brown. The taste of the coconut and almonds will be enhanced by toasting them. The coconut extract would obviously intensify the coconut taste, but you may easily replace it with vanilla if you want.

Directions

These muffins are the perfect way to end a great meal. They’re moist and delicious, and an excellent way to use up some leftover macadamia nuts from a dinner party or brunch with friends.
