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.
