Coconut and chocolate muffin
The batter of these coconut and chocolate muffins can be mixed together in five minutes then the baking only takes 20 minutes. So it’s a perfect snack for parties, afternoon teas, picnics, etc. Given it’s so easy to make, it’s an ideal recipe for kids to try to bake. Also, it’s dairy- free! I used cocoa coconut milk – if you don’t have any, just use plain coconut milk and add 1 Tbsp cocoa powder to the batter.
