I had a bag of coconut that needed to be used so I had a search around for recipes and found this easy recipe to do.

Steps

30 mins

1

Preheat oven to 180 Celsius/ gas mark 4.
2

Using a wooden spoon mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until the mixture is smooth. Note that you can add 1-2 extra eggs to make it really moist inside. With 3 eggs its a sticky type of moist.
3

Line a cupcake tray with cupcake liners.
4

Using a tablespoon, spoon into each cupcake liner. Don't worry too much if they are really messy it'll even out when cook.
5

Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the top of the cupcake has become golden brown. Times will vary depending on your oven settings. Reduce time to have them just caramelised, I like them with a bit of crunch on top so I cook it for longer.
6

Once they are golden brown on top they are done.
7

((If you press down on the cupcakes and they bounce back then they are done.))
8

Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on a metal rack.
9

Tip: Sprinkle with powdered Sugar or granulated coloured sugar. They also typically add a cocktail cherry on top.
10

All also made it in a round baking tray, I think its an 8 by 8 inch tray but any size small to medium baking tray will do. To do this I greased the baking tray and lined with greaseproof paper then I added the mixture. I upped the oven temperature to 200 Celsius and baked for about 40-45 minutes, until it started to almost burn on top.
