Custard Muffins

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup shredded coconut (optional for texture).
Instructions:

Prepare the Batter:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the shredded coconut for added texture.
Bake the Muffins:
Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve:
Serve the custard muffins warm or at room temperature. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a delightful snack.
