FFwD: Coconut Friands

I am a big fan of coconut; macaroons, pina coladas, pretty much coconut anything. I was really pleased that this weeks recipe not only had coconut, but was super easy! I couldn't find any unsweetened coconut, so I used sweetened and cut the sugar way down.
Batter and muffin tin

The batter came together quickly and these little nuggets of joy were in the oven in about 10 minutes. A little bit later and after some cooling, I had a nice little bite-sized snack before dinner! Hubby even liked them too!

Yummy little coconut nuggets!

    unexpected guests. Yours looks great, especially with the strawberries.
    Lovely photos.

  5. Lovely, lovely...fruit always seem to be a wonderful addition to baked goods. My kids enjoy eating fruit together with all things baked.

    Have a nice weekend!

    1. Thanks! I love fruit with my baked goods too, sometimes if only to balance out the sugar and fat!

  7. Glad to hear you enjoyed these little nuggets of joy. I don't like shredded coconuts, so skipped this week's recipe. Your little cakes look delicious though.
