Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, applesauce, and softened butter until well blended. (3 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
In a separate clean, dry glass or metal bowl, beat egg whites until medium peaks form. Ensure the bowl and beaters are grease-free for optimal results. (7 minutes)
04 Step

Incorporate egg yolks and vanilla extract into the applesauce mixture, then gently fold in the beaten egg whites. Gradually add flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (10 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Gradually beat in the coconut milk until the batter is smooth, approximately 1 minute. Gently fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the batter, about 30 seconds. (2 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. (5 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, approximately 20 minutes. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (25 minutes)
For a richer coconut flavor, consider toasting the shredded coconut before adding it to the batter.
To avoid overmixing, which can lead to tough cupcakes, mix the dry ingredients separately before adding them to the wet ingredients.
If you don't have applesauce on hand, you can substitute it with mashed banana for a slightly different flavor profile.
Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for better emulsification and a smoother batter.
