TEXAS LIME IN THE COCONUT MUFFINS
This recipe was devised when I had a lot of limes on hand. I'm sure you could use any citrus fruit you like. The key is using healthy ingredients! This muffin is a moderately sweet breakfast treat but much healthier than sweet cereal. The coconut oil is very healthy for you, and so is the flaxseed. Never use margarine! Always use non-aluminum baking powder. I use white whole wheat flour, it comes from white wheat instead of red wheat. These are always a hit at my house.

Steps:
- Grate the zest of the lime and set aside.
- Cut the outer pith from the lime and then carefully slide the knife under one membrane and gently remove a segment of lime flesh.
- Continue until all lime flesh has been extracted into a bowl for later use.
- NB. This isn't as hard as it sounds as the lime membranes are quite fibrous. Alternatively you could just squeeze the limes and use the juice.
- Now sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, mix together the egg, sugar, milk, butter and vanilla.
- Return the dry ingredients to the sifter and sift again over the egg mixture (Delia says this double sifting is essential, and hey, Delia always knows best!).
- Quickly fold the flour into the egg mixture, taking no more than 15 seconds, as over-mixing will prevent them rising.
- Add the lime zest, lime flesh, white chocolate and coconut (or whatever variation you prefer), combining with minimum stirring.
- Spoon into muffin trays and bake at 200C on a high shelf.
- Large muffins should take 30 minutes, smaller mini-muffins only about 20 minutes.
- Makes 6 large muffins or 20 mini-muffins.

- 3. Fill muffin tins 2/3 full with batter. Top each tin with coconut.
- 4. Bake until a tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes about clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- 5. ***Tip*** I used the flavored yogurts in place of the plain greek yogurt to equal the amount called for, you can do this if you do not have plain yogurt on hand. Prep time is 15 minutes-Bake time is 20 minutes and cooling time-15 minutes
Tips:
- Use fresh coconut and lime zest for the best flavor.
- Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour will make the muffins dry and crumbly.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will toughen the muffins.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
