Delicious Jackfruit coconut muffins made with tropical wonder fresh jackfruits and nutty coconut . Goes well with a cup of tea or coffee.
I am suffering from throat pain and that made me lazy girl, and therefore yes, I am yet to write a blog post. I had bought a big jackfruit from Hong Kong Market a few days ago with the intention of making few recipes. My hubby started asking me yesterday if I was going to use jackfruit in any of my recipes. He knows my love for jackfruit, and I decided to make Jackfruit coconut muffins.
Cleaned fruit
Jackfruit coconut muffins, turned out a great tasting muffin, it has subtle sweetness of jackfruit with the nuttiness of the coconut. The taste of the toasted coconut on the top and the lingering after taste makes it very hard to stop with just one. I only made 6 muffins as it is was an experiment. Now I regret I should made a dozen, so feel free to double it. If you are sweet muffin person, try to increase the sugar by ¼ cup sugar, or you can simply garnish with turbinado sugar. It really tastes wonderful with a cup of morning coffee.
If you don’t know jackfruit, it is one of heaviest fruits of world and produce sweetest fruit. Ripe jackfruit has more custardy taste combo of mango and pineapple. In Kerala (my home state), most houses would have a jackfruit tree in the yard. We like to eat jackfruit in all from forms whether it is raw or ripe. Young green fruits are used to make curry. I have seen vegans using the young green jackfruits as pulled pork counterpart. It is meaty and starchy too.
Since I made almost everything jackfruit, from traditional puddings, desserts, curries, cookies and ice cream. I decide to make the one which I have not tried earlier; this recipe is inspired from my own mango muffin with some changes. I added coconut, as when we make traditional sweet recipes with jackfruit and add coconut or coconut milk. I didn’t incorporate pureed jackfruit into the recipe but added it as whole pieces.
You can find jackfruit in HEB stores, Asian stores, buy whole ones and cut and make preserve or eat as such or make these delicious recipes with it. Or you can try canned ones, in that case use only jackfruit piece not the syrup.
Let me know your feedback. Here is the recipe for you.

Made these yesterday and they came out perfect, even though I substituted half a banana for the butter. I think the banana actually complimented the jackfruit well! Thank you for sharing this recipe.

These muffins are definitely on my list of must-try items! I've always been a little intimidated by the jack fruit, but this looks like a great recipe for me to dive in for the first time. I'm looking forward to a sweet custard like fruit in a delicious looking muffin.

This is amazing, I love ripe jackfruit and paired with coconut it must be absolutely delicious. Got to try it as soon as I get my hands on some ripe jackfruit.

Swathi, I wish I stayed near you to just eat the jackfruit that you have. I made muffins once with jackfruit as well and loved the recipe. How flavorful these muffins look. I am tempted to buy some right now 🙂

I noticed a person mentioned Whole Foods starting to carry it and that really excites me!! I love trying new foods and cooking with them. I don't like overly sweet muffins so your recipe would be perfect.
Gloria says
I have never tried jackfruit before. It sure looks like an interesting ingredient. I will have to see if I can find it at the local markets. These muffins look awesome.
Pam Greer says
My local Whole Foods has started carrying jackfruit and I had absolutely no idea what to do with it, so I didn't get it. Now, I know that I can make these muffins, so I hope they still have some!!
