Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Cocoa powder
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cups Chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
In a small bowl, combine the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk to form a sticky macaroon mixture.
Spoon a tablespoon of the chocolate batter into each muffin cup to create a base layer.
Add a heaping teaspoon of the macaroon mixture on top of the batter in each muffin cup.
Cover the macaroon mixture with another tablespoon of chocolate batter, filling the muffin cups about three-quarters full. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon if needed.
Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolate flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the outer chocolate layer (not the macaroon center) comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Macaroon Muffins!
