Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 45 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 12 muffins
Necessary ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of milk (approximately 120 ml)
- 1/2 cup of oil (approximately 120 ml)
- 1 cup of shredded coconut (approximately 200 g)
- 1 cup of sugar (approximately 200 g)
- 1.5 cups of flour (approximately 190 g)
- 1 packet of baking powder (approximately 10 g)
- A pinch of salt
- 1 chocolate bar (preferably milk or dark, 100-150 g)
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Prepare the ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients. It is important to use the same type of cup for measuring the ingredients to ensure the proportions are correct.
2. Beat the eggs: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until you obtain a homogeneous, fluffy mixture with a light color. This step is essential for ensuring an airy muffin.
3. Add the oil and milk: Gradually integrate the oil and milk into the egg mixture, continuing to mix. The oil will add moisture, while the milk will make the mixture creamier.
4. Incorporate the dry ingredients: In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients mixture to the bowl with the eggs, mixing gently to avoid lumps.
5. Add the coconut and chocolate: Finally, add the shredded coconut and the chocolate cut into small pieces or chocolate chips. Mix well to evenly distribute the chocolate in the mixture.
6. Fill the muffin cups: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Fill the muffin cups 2/3 full with the obtained mixture. You can use paper muffin liners or grease the cups with a little oil to prevent sticking.
7. Bake the muffins: Place the cups in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean.
8. Cooling and serving: After the muffins are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely.
Serving suggestion: These muffins are delicious both warm and cold. You can sprinkle them with powdered sugar or serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate (white, milk, dark) or add hazelnuts or walnuts for an extra texture.
Customized version: If you want a touch of freshness, you can add grated lemon or orange zest to the mixture. This will add extra flavor and make the muffins even more aromatic.
These chocolate and coconut muffins are a simple and quick choice for any sweet tooth. Enjoy them with your loved ones and savor every bite!
