So easy to make. I did not have my mini muffin pan but did have my Gem Scones Cast Iron tray which I used and it cut the cooking time down to 12 minutes.<br/>I also experimented with frozen berries in some and nutella in others.......very yum yum

I liked the texture of the coconut in the muffin but the taste was a little bland and the coconut on top started to burn. The jam did not add much to the taste of the muffin - maybe I overbaked them, I don't know. Would try this recipe again but maybe without the jam. Any feedback on where I may have gone wrong? Thanks.
