# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Put paper liners in two muffin tins and place them nearby.
02 -
Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt in a big bowl. Stir in brown sugar, white sugar, and coconut flakes until mixed well.
03 -
In another bowl, beat eggs, oil, buttermilk, shredded carrots, pineapple with its juice, and vanilla until well combined.
04 -
Create a hole in the middle of your dry mix and pour in all the wet ingredients. Gently stir just until everything comes together.
05 -
Scoop batter into each paper liner, filling them about three-quarters full.
06 -
Pop them in the oven for 22-24 minutes. They're done when you can touch the top and it bounces back. Let them cool completely before adding glaze.
07 -
Mix powdered sugar, cinnamon, and buttermilk in a small bowl until it's nice and smooth.
08 -
Pour glaze over the cooled muffins and wait for it to harden before you eat them.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Toss in some crushed walnuts or pecans if you want a bit of crunch.
02 -
Swap the buttermilk for Greek yogurt to bump up the protein.
03 -
Keep them fresh in a sealed container for up to 3 days or freeze them to enjoy later.
