    • 2 cups grated unpeeled courgette (about 1 medium)

      In a large bowl, stir together the white whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. In a medium bowl or large mixing cup, whisk together the eggs, honey, brown sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla until well blended. Add all at once to the dry ingredients, stirring by hand just until combined. The mixture may be a little lumpy. Fold in the zucchini and coconut.

      Meanwhile, prepare the glaze: Stir together the icing sugar and salt, then whisk in almond extract and the milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Dunk the top of each muffin into the glaze, then sprinkle with toasted coconut.
