LEMON COCONUT MUFFINS



Lemon Coconut Muffins image

Adapted from Company's Coming - Mostly Muffins. The batter is a nice, fluffy, light batter. It scoops into the muffin cups easily. The final result is a touch crumbly but still tastes WONDERFUL. If you would like to, you can omit the oatmeal and increase the coconut by the 1/2 cup. That is how the original recipe was listed but I tried to make it a little lower in fat by decreasing the coconut.

Time 45m

Yield 12 Muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup quick oatmeal
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup margarine (you could use softened butter)
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons lemon zest, finely grated
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons sweetened flaked coconut (or more)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice

  • Sprinkle with second amount of coconut. Bake in 375°F (190°C) oven for 18 to 20 minutes until wooden pick inserted in centre of muffin comes out clean.
  • Glaze: Combine all 4 ingredients in small saucepan. Heat on medium until boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low. Heat and stir for 2-4 minutes until starting to thicken.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor. Grate the zest directly from a lemon using a fine grater or microplane. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, as it will not provide the same bright, citrusy flavor.
  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk. You can also use light coconut milk, but the muffins will be less moist and flavorful.
  • Be sure to measure the flour correctly. The best way to do this is to use a kitchen scale. If you don't have a kitchen scale, spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough, dense muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly muffins.

Conclusion:

These coconut lemon syrup muffins are a delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are moist and flavorful, with a bright citrus flavor and a hint of coconut. The syrup is the perfect finishing touch, adding a touch of sweetness and moisture. Whether you enjoy them for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, these muffins are sure to please everyone.
