Growing up, my family couldn't get enough of these Guyanese coconut buns, and now I'm passing the recipe along to you. They're wonderfully simple to make with just basic pantry ingredients, and the buttery, coconut studded crumb is absolutely irresistible. The coconut not only gives these buns their signature tropical flavor but also provides healthy fats that support heart health. What I love most is how quick and affordable they are to prepare, making them perfect for weekend baking or unexpected guests. Once you try them, they'll become your go to treat.
