Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe
These Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins pretend to be tropical, but let’s be honest—they’re just an excuse to eat dessert for breakfast. Coconut adds a chewy texture, while chocolate makes everything better (as usual). The batter comes together faster than your morning coffee brews, making them dangerously easy. They’re fluffy, rich, and loaded with just enough coconut to make you feel like you’re on vacation—without the beach, obviously. Bake them once, and suddenly, coconut will start appearing in all your recipes. You’ve been warned.
Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe
Moist, fluffy muffins loaded with shredded coconut and melty chocolate, delivering a tropical twist on a classic sweet treat.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup milk
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin or grease it well.
- Mix dry ingredients: Whisk together flour, coconut, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
- Combine everything: Fold the dry mix into the wet ingredients gently—overmixing leads to sadness.
- Add chocolate chips: Stir them in, but try not to eat them all before baking.
- Fill the muffin tin: Spoon batter evenly into each cup, filling them about ¾ full.
- Bake: Place in the oven for 18–20 minutes or until golden brown.
