Instructions
To make these delightful Coconut and Chocolate Muffins, begin by finely chopping the dark chocolate with a sharp knife, then melt it gently using a double boiler method. Once the chocolate is melted, incorporate the sugar into the chocolate, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Now, add the coconut milk to the chocolate mixture and mix thoroughly using a hand whisk at a low speed. Gradually add the seed oil and continue mixing until everything is well-blended.
Next, focus on preparing the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, sift the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder together. Once sifted, gradually add these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, one tablespoon at a time, while keeping the mixer on at a slow speed to prevent lumps.
Once the dry ingredients are well incorporated, introduce the coconut flour to the batter and mix until fully combined. At this point, you should have a rich, smooth batter ready for baking.
Prepare a muffin tin by lining each compartment with paper muffin liners. Carefully fill each liner with the muffin batter, leaving approximately 1.5 cm from the top to allow space for the muffins to rise as they bake.
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) on the static (conventional) setting. Bake the muffins for around 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes. Afterward, transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
To finish, sprinkle the muffins with desiccated coconut for a final touch of tropical flavor and texture. Your Coconut and Chocolate Muffins are now ready to be enjoyed—perfect for any occasion, from a special family treat to an afternoon snack with your favorite cup of tea or coffee!
Pro Tip: These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer preservation. They make a wonderful treat for gatherings, picnics, or even as a homemade gift for loved ones.
