Ingredients
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup granulated sugar
1½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
2 large eggs
½ cup milk
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
Frosting & Topping
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1–2 tbsp milk
½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
Preheat: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
Combine: Stir wet ingredients into dry until just combined (don’t overmix).
Bake: Divide batter evenly among liners. Bake 18–22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
Make Frosting: Beat butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth and spreadable.
Create Bunny Tails: Frost each cooled muffin generously, then dip or sprinkle with shredded coconut to create a fluffy “tail” effect.
