Delicious and super easy! I used unsweetened coconut flakes and the muffins are plenty sweet enough. I also added sliced almonds to the top and it gave it a nice little crunch. Definitely going to make this a staple in my recipe collection.

Made these today and they turned out beautifully with the following changes (I had egg nog to use up!). Substituted the egg for tbsp eggnog and the vanilla for some rum that was at the bottom of the bottle. Cut sugar to 1/2 and used unsweetened coconut (that’s all I had). They turned out beautifully and taste delicious. A keeper recipe for sure!
