Ideal for breakfast on-the-go, a mid-afternoon snack, or a decadent dessert, these muffins are best served warm for a melt-in-your-mouth experience. With a bake time of just 20 minutes, this recipe yields 12 delectable muffins that can be stored for up to 3 days, making them a convenient treat for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
In a separate bowl or large measuring jug, combine the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
