These muffins are the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The coconut flavor is subtle, but it really shines through. The lemon syrup adds a nice touch of brightness.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover coconut milk. I had a can in my pantry that I didn't know what to do with, and these muffins were the perfect solution. They turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I decided to try these muffins anyway. I'm glad I did! The coconut flavor is subtle and not overpowering. The muffins are also very moist and fluffy.

These muffins are so moist and flavorful! I love the combination of coconut and lemon. The syrup is a nice touch, but I think they would be just as good without it.
