Love these! One of the best muffins I have ever made. Moist, dense, baked up nice and high. Perfectly sweetened for me. I too like that the recipe only makes six, and the measurements are easily doubled for when I make them for company (which I will!) I liked the chocolate chips however next time I'll probably replace them with dried cherries or cranberries. Thanks a lot for posting! -
This taste soooooo good!!! I had to substitute 1/2 cup of plain yogurt for the 1/2 sour cream, but it still tasted so great!!! It was so easy to make. I have a feeling this will become a family favorite -
Made for Zaar Stars. These are great muffins. I like the fact that this recipe only makes 6 muffins (no work to figuring out half). Loved the combination of almond, coconut and chocolate chips! Thanks for posting this Hokies! -
Wonderful muffins! I used fresh coconut and chocolate sprinkles instead of chocolate chips (we ran out but my DD's were already set on making these today, haha). We loved these and served them to some friends who came over for dinner and enjoyed them as well. This is a wonderful treat that I'm sure we'll repeat. Thanks! -
Awesome!!! I'm going to try them without the chocolate chips. I think they would be great that way, too.

This is a wonderful recipe, and one worth repeating. I used plain yoghurt instead of sour cream (kind of hard to find sour cream in supermarkets here in India), and I plan to use plain greek yoghurt next time. Also I chopped up some dark chocolate, in stead of chocolate chips. The recipe itself is really simple, and the muffins taste lovely. -
