The flavors here are lovely but I'm not sure how Syd got the line grated. The small hasp side of the grater wouldn't even scratch the lime skin and the large side just tore pieces out of it. I finely settled for squeezing the juice into the bowl for the flavor. I also found the temp to be too high, at least for my oven, I set it @ 375 and my 10 min check showed me that they were eagerly browning on the outside but very gooey and mostly raw inside. I reset the temp to 350 and gave them another 5 mins and that did the trick. They came out lovely and tall. As to the timing I need to say that I cut the recipe to 12 muffins and made 6 double sized ones because the guys gripe about "bite sized" muffins (regular ones). The juice turned out to be a great addition :D. Made for ZWT7.

Was gonna cut this recipe in half, but then decided to do the whole batch & send 2/3 of them off with my other half the share at one of his weekly meetings! Big hit, they were, too! We especially enjoyed the lime & coconut combo & I'll definitely be making these gems in the future! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
