Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease each cavity with non-stick cooking spray.
2 minIn a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and slightly fluffy. Pour in the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract, whisking until everything is fully combined.
2 minIn a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and shredded coconut. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix only until no dry flour remains. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins soft and tender.
3 minUsing an ice cream scoop or large spoon, fill each muffin liner about ¾ full. This allows enough room for the muffins to rise while baking and creates a beautifully rounded top.
3 minBake for 28–30 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
30 minWhile the muffins cool, combine the raspberries, water, and powdered sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until the berries soften. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with the cold water until smooth, then slowly stir it into the raspberry mixture. Continue cooking for another minute or two until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
15 minServe the muffins warm or at room temperature. Spoon the homemade raspberry sauce over each muffin just before serving, or drizzle it over the top for an elegant presentation. Finish with extra shredded coconut, fresh raspberries, or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
