Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C
- Strain 440g can of crushed pineapple using a sieve into a new mixing bowl. Add the juice from 1 and a half oranges on top of the pineapples.
- In a seperate bowl, use a fork to whisk 3 eggs and add them to the mixture and stir together.
- Add 1/3 Cup Low Fat Greek Yogurt and stir with a whisk, whilst adding at least 1/3 cup of melted coconut oil.
- Add 1 & 2/3 Cup Almond flour to a new dry mixing bowl, as well as 1/2 cup shredded coconut and 1/3 cup coconut flour. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are all evenly combined.
- Add to the wet mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.
- Add 1/3 Cup Natvia and Zest half an orange on top of the mixture and stir together.
- Once the orange zest has combined with the finished muffin mix, start to grease a muffin tray and begin to spread the muffin mixture evenly out in the muffin tray.
- Bake the muffins for 50 mins at 180°C or until they are golden and can be poked through cleanly with a skewer.
- Whilst the muffins are baking, create the glaze by adding 1 cup of Natvia to a new mixing bowl.
- Juice half of one orange into the mixing bowl with the Natvia and hand whisk together.
- The glaze should now be quite zesty yet dry, so add 1/4 cup of water to the icing glaze mixture and continue to whisk until evenly combined.
- Once the muffins are done being baked in the oven, remove them and dip the tops of the muffins in the coconut frosting/glaze.
- Prepare a small plate of shredded coconut and dip the wet frosted coconut muffin tops in the shredded coconut to finish.
- Slice strawberries in half and place on top of the muffins for decoration and enjoy some tasty guilt free and zesty coconut muffins!
