Green (Pandan) Coconut Muffins

This is an easy muffin recipe and it gives muffin a touch of Asia :D



In Asian cuisine, if it is green then it can contain either pandan extract or matcha (green tea). In south east asian particularly, the green came from pandan extract. Pandan or the pandanus leaves are usually blended with a bit of water and strained to get the juice/water. Nowadays we do not need to do that because pandan extract (just like vanilla extract) is readily available in little bottle sold in Asian stores.

I've found this simple recipe from this website.

I just copy paste the recipe here.
