These delectable treats are a perfect blend of zesty lime and creamy coconut, offering a burst of sunshine in every bite.

The first recipe offers a hassle-free option, utilizing a store-bought muffin mix as a base.

Tips:
- Use fresh limes for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
- If you don't have coconut milk, you can use unsweetened almond milk or oat milk. However, the muffins will not be as moist.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the muffins will overflow.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter on it, the muffins need to bake longer.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
