Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins

Muffins are my some of my favorite to eat for breakfast!  Any kind as long as it doesn’t have nuts!  I usually try to make a double batch and freeze the rest for later.  My kids like muffins, too.  As long as there is some sort of chocolate chip in the mix!  I guess they take after their mom!

 I talk a lot about how chocolate is always good with pretty much anything.  Alright, probably not celery or potatoes, but you know what I mean.  Coconut is one of those great pairings and I thought it would be great together in a muffin.

I know some people have an aversion to the actual texture of shredded coconut so that’s why it’s optional in this recipe.  My oldest son thinks I’m out to get him if I put shredded coconut in anything.  However, we discovered he loves the flavor of it!  There is coconut milk and coconut extract to help these muffins out in the flavor department!
They are best served warm, but can be made a head of time and kept in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
