More muffins! Ed said these were really good, so that must mean they're amazing. Which, they are. I found a recipe for orange-coconut bread, I don't think I was looking for it, but I found it, and I really, really, really wanted to turn it into muffins. So, I did. Only, with lime instead of orange. And, they were a success. Particularly the crunchy coconut on top. No, I don't understand the urge to make everything into a muffin. Maybe I like things to be small and handheld? Who knows.
Here is the original recipe, I've posted it below with my changes. I made these muffins really full, so that they would have big muffin tops, but the problem with that is the temptation to just eat the top of the muffin.
Ingredients
1.5C flour
1/2C whole wheat flour
1/4C flaked, sweetened coconut
2 tsp lime or orange zest
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4C sugar
1 egg
1 tbs oil
1/4C milk
1C yogurt, plain
2 tbs orange juice
1/4C coconut for sprinkling on top
Thoroughly mix the flour, coconut, baking soda, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl, mix all the wet stuff. Add the wet to the dry, stirring just until combined. Spoon into greased muffin tins, and top with the coconut.
Bake at 350 for 15-20min until golden brown on top and the coconut looks crunchy. Made 12 muffins with big tops (or 18 regular sized muffins).

Hi there, my daughter Caitie is 6yo and a keen cook. I just wanted to let you know that we've made your coconut lime muffins quite a few times, and we LOVE them! Feel free to check out the blog - Cooking With Caitie.
I'm glad they've been such a hit! It's a pretty fun flavor combination.
