Mini Orange Coconut Muffins
These mini orange coconut muffins have incredible flavors of orange and coconut. The combination of these two ingredients makes them truly delicious. They are cute, moist, sweet and dairy-free. Because these bites are so small and the flavors are so great, eating two or more in a single sitting feels just fine. My favorite detail from this recipe is the inclusion of coconut flakes, which make these muffins chewy, moist and more flavorful.
These muffins can be refrigerated or stored at room temperature. They will stay fresh for days. If you’re looking to keep an easy dessert, breakfast or snack on hand, these dairy-free mini treats can be made in advance.
This recipe requires only one mixing bowl. First, we’ll soak ground chia seeds. Then we’ll combine the rest of the wet ingredients. Next we’ll add in the dry ingredients and gently mix everything together. We will then pour this mixture into a mini muffin baking pan and bake it. Give this one a try. It’s easy and delicious!
