This recipe has been tweaked over and over again and I’ve gotten it to the point where I don’t think I could possibly add anything else to it. (Although nuts would make a nice addition too. I usually leave them out though.) The muffins turn out so moist and delicious.
This recipe makes about 3 dozen, so it’s a great one when you want to stock the freezer.

- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup shredded coconut

- 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil

Instructions
