Preparation

Chef’s notes

You can make them triple coconut muffins (and dairy-free) by using coconut milk instead of yogurt.
Add a cup or so of diced mango chunks to the batter for mango-coconut muffins.
For pina colada muffins, use the same volume of pineapple chunks.
Replace the yogurt with mashed banana or banana puree to make a banana-coconut muffin.
Add a teaspoon of lime zest for a lime-coconut twist.
Add chocolate chips (1 cup) or macadamia nuts (1/2 to 3/4 cup, toasted and chopped) for added flavor.
If your yogurt and egg are not at room temperature, they will re-solidify the coconut oil, making the batter quite thick and difficult to stir, like a cookie batter. But it all works out.
