  1. Even though I had problems figuring out what the different type of dried coconuts were this recipe is absolutely fab! Easy to make and the muffin are delicious. I added extra baking powder (1/2 tsp) and sustituted the 250ml coconut cream with 400ml coconut milk - they are fluffier that way. My work mates love me for those!
     
  2. These are THE BEST muffins I have ever made. I make a lot of muffins for a cafe I part own and use sites like recipezaar looking for words like "awesome" and "best". These are the best and they are easy to make, if a little time-consuming rubbing the butter in.
