If not using cupcake liners, would you just grease and flour cupcake tins

Yes, you can do that, and this method actually works really well.

I’d love to try the recipe but am alittle confused on what type of coconut to use. It’s says grated and I’m not sure I know what that is. I know of desiccated and the regulars sweetened bagged kind but not of grated. Could you clarify this please and Thank You : )
