TEXAS LIME IN THE COCONUT MUFFINS



Texas Lime in the Coconut Muffins image

This recipe was devised when I had a lot of limes on hand. I'm sure you could use any citrus fruit you like. The key is using healthy ingredients! This muffin is a moderately sweet breakfast treat but much healthier than sweet cereal. The coconut oil is very healthy for you, and so is the flaxseed. Never use margarine! Always use non-aluminum baking powder. I use white whole wheat flour, it comes from white wheat instead of red wheat. These are always a hit at my house.

LIME, WHITE CHOCOLATE AND COCONUT MUFFINS



Lime, White Chocolate and Coconut Muffins image

Found this on a blog that was running a contest for cupcakes and muffins. This was one lady's creation. The title alone caught my eye...or should I say tastebuds!

Provided by Wasteoftym

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 20m

Yield 6 large muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

150 g plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 medium egg
40 g caster sugar
110 ml milk
50 g butter, melted and cooled slightly
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 lime
80 g white chocolate, chopped roughly
1/2 cup desiccated coconut

Steps:

  • Grate the zest of the lime and set aside.
  • Cut the outer pith from the lime and then carefully slide the knife under one membrane and gently remove a segment of lime flesh.
  • Continue until all lime flesh has been extracted into a bowl for later use.
  • NB. This isn't as hard as it sounds as the lime membranes are quite fibrous. Alternatively you could just squeeze the limes and use the juice.
  • Now sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, mix together the egg, sugar, milk, butter and vanilla.
  • Return the dry ingredients to the sifter and sift again over the egg mixture (Delia says this double sifting is essential, and hey, Delia always knows best!).
  • Quickly fold the flour into the egg mixture, taking no more than 15 seconds, as over-mixing will prevent them rising.
  • Add the lime zest, lime flesh, white chocolate and coconut (or whatever variation you prefer), combining with minimum stirring.
  • Spoon into muffin trays and bake at 200C on a high shelf.
  • Large muffins should take 30 minutes, smaller mini-muffins only about 20 minutes.
  • Makes 6 large muffins or 20 mini-muffins.

1-1/2 tsps baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda

8 tbsps unsalted butter, melted9i used salted butter)
1 cup white sugar
1 tsp lime zest
1 tbsp lime juice(from 3 small limes)

2/3 thirds whole greek yogurt(i used 1-5.3 0z container of toasted coconut vanilla yogurt and 1 container of key lime yogurt)
3/4th cup sweetened coconut flakes

Steps:

  • 1. preheat oven to 350°F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper holders. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined; set aside.

  • 4. Bake until a tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes about clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • 5. ***Tip*** I used the flavored yogurts in place of the plain greek yogurt to equal the amount called for, you can do this if you do not have plain yogurt on hand. Prep time is 15 minutes-Bake time is 20 minutes and cooling time-15 minutes

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your muffins will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: This will help ensure that all of your muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if your muffins are done baking.
