You will also need
12 Tulip muffin cases
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with tulip muffin cases. Place the spice, sugar, coconut oil and vinegar together in a saucepan with 250ml cold water, and gently heat until melted, then bring to the boil and simmer for 3 minutes. Leave to cool.
2. Sift the flour with the baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Add the fresh coconut (keeping some back to scatter on top of the muffins), sunflower seeds, pineapple and mashed banana. Pour over the cooled, boiled ingredients and mix well.
3. Spoon the mixture into the prepared cases and scatter with the reserved coconut. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centres comes out clean. Leave in the tin for 5 minutes, then cool on wire racks. They are even better the day after.
