Coconut Muffins

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup + 2 tbsp white granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla essence
1/3 cup cashews
200 ml milk
Method:
Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees C (350 degrees F) and place the rack at the center of oven.
Dry roast the cashews and coarsely grind it. You can microwave the cashews for 2-3 mins and let it stand in the microwave for another minute or so. Cool and grind the roasted cashews.
Sieve together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add the coconut, grinded cashews and sugar. Mix all the dry ingredients together.
In another bowl whisk together eggs,oil,vanilla essence and milk.
Now slowly fold in the wet ingredients in the dry ingredients. Stir a little just to ensure all the ingredients are mixed together. Do not over stir.
Lightly grease a muffin tray. With the help of a spoon drop the batter in the muffins cups. Fill half or little more than half of the muffin cups. Bake the muffins for around 20-25 mins or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean.
Coconut Muffins are ready to serve. 
This recipe serves approx 16 muffins.
