A Box of Nilla Wafers = Coconut Muffins!

I had a box of Nilla Wafers left over from my Mini Cheesecakes so I decided to be creative. So I grinded the wafers up in my food processor and turn them into Muffin Mix! The sweet VANILLA flavor mixed perfectly with the flaked COCONUT and the muffins turned out moist and really yummy!

Ingredients: (6 muffins)

1/2 c + 6 tsp flaked Coconut, divided
1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 c (20) Nilla Wafers
1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 c milk
3 Tbsp Veg oil

Prep:

1. Preheat oven to 425F. Line 6 muffin cups with paper baking cups.
2. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into large bowl. Set aside.
3. Beat egg in medium bowl, then stir in milk and oil. Add to flour mixture along with coconut and stir just until dry ingredients are moinstened. Do not overmix.
4. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling almost to the top. Sprinkle a tsp of coconut flakes on top of each muffin.
5. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted into muffins come out clean.
