These muffins were a bit dry. I think I'll try adding a little bit of oil or butter to the batter next time.

The muffins didn't rise very much. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These muffins are a little bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time I make them.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really liked these muffins. The chocolate flavor really balances out the coconut.

I love that these muffins are made with whole wheat flour. It makes them a little healthier than traditional muffins.

I added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter and it gave the muffins a really nice flavor.

I made these muffins with dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips. They were still delicious, but I think I prefer the semi-sweet chocolate chips better.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover coconut milk. I always have some on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.
