Servings

1¼ cups all-purpose flour
1½ tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
¾ cup sweetened shredded coconut plus more for sprinkling on top of the muffins (if desired)
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
⅓ cup sugar
¼ cup butter (melted)
⅛ cup coconut cream (*Not coconut milk)
1 egg (beaten)
½ tsp vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sweetened shredded coconut, the sugar, and the chocolate chips. Using a wooden spoon, mix until the ingredients are combined and evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, beaten egg, and vanilla extract, and whisk until well blended. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then combine.
Line a muffin tin with eight Jumbo-size baking liners. Divide the batter evenly among the cups, filling each one with about ½ cup of batter. If you like, sprinkle some extra shredded coconut on top of each muffin.
Bake the muffins until they’re puffed and the coconut turns golden brown, which should take about 23 to 25 minutes. Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Serve warm.
