INGREDIENTS

Coconut glaze

METHOD

  • Brown butter and cool slightly.
  • Mix in sugar until pale and well incorporated.
  • Add coconut, then yogurt.
  • In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  • Slowly add dry mixture into the butter mixture just to incorporate.
  • Divide evenly among 12 muffin pans, two-thirds of the way up.
  • Bake at 375 F for 40 minutes. You can re-heat to serve later as well, but keep airtight to avoid drying out!
  • Top with coconut glaze and toasted pistachios. Enjoy!
