Coconut Muffins Make Me Happy

Goood morning! Hope you all had a good Monday!!! :D Today's post is going to be quick...I just really wanna share this awesome muffin recipe that I made today!

Do you like coconut??? I really hope so, because that's what these muffins are all about! Coconut and lemon....one of my favorite non-chocolate combinations!

While not exactly the "healthiest" muffin around, these taste really great.....and anyway, I believe that part of a healthy diet is enjoying other stuff in moderation as well. So, if you like lemon and coconut, please bake these muffins. And make the glaze......it really completes the muffins. And I promise to have a workout or recipe that actually goes along with the "healthy" part of Musings of a Healthy Chocoholic....hahaha

Coconut Lemon Muffins (based on these)

Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup coconut milk
2 eggs
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
Flaked coconut

Directions
  1. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium sized bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine milk, eggs, oil and juice.
  3. Add liquid to dry ingredients, stir until just combined. 
  4. Spoon dough into greased muffin tins until halfway full. Sprinkle coconut on each muffin, add more batter until about 1/4 inch from the top of the tin, and sprinkle more coconut on top.
  5. Bake at 400 for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. For the glaze: Mix 2 parts sweetened condensed milk with one part coconut milk and drizzle on top of warm muffins. 
The original recipe called for regular milk, but I found that the coconut milk gave the muffins an awesome texture and flavor!!!! If anyone makes these and likes them, please let me know!!!!! 

See ya'll later! :D
