I had some trouble getting the muffins to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these muffins. The lemon syrup balanced out the coconut flavor perfectly.

These coconut lemon syrup muffins were a delightful treat! The muffins were moist and fluffy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tang. The lemon syrup added a wonderful burst of flavor, and the coconut flakes gave the muffins a nice texture.
