Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting the butter with coconut oil. If you want a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing for a smoother batter. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for enhanced flavor. If you’re short on grated coconut, shredded coconut works as a substitute.
