Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line a 12-hole muffin tray with a paper liner. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, shredded coconut, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt if used.
Make a well in the center of the flour and add coconut milk, light olive oil, and vanilla extract.
Combine, scraping down the sides to bring all the ingredients together and a smooth batter forms.
Fold in crushed pineapple and grated carrots. Stir to evenly incorporate.
Divide the batter evenly into the 12 muffin holes.
Bake the muffins on the center rack of your oven for 25-30 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until they are golden brown and a pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let them cool down on a rack completely.
