Recipe adapted slightly from: Taste of Home
Melanie I checked out that “Coconut Obsession Group Board on Pinterest” and heavens – so much scrumptiousness – and speaking of scrumptiousness – these muffins look so incredibly moist and flavorful!
Chocolate and coconut is always the dynamic duo! These muffins look scrumptious. And Taste of Home will always be my go-to. I always try not to buy the next magazine when in line at the grocery store, but it calls my name nonetheless!
Taste of Home is a favorite of mine for sure!
Love me some coconut and I DEFINITELY love me some chocolate. The perfect combination!
This is how I like muffins, moist and flavorful. I definitely will try your recipe, thanks for sharing.
Good luck Cecilia! Thanks for stopping by!

I’m totally OK with that Dorothy! Thanks girl.
I read through all these comments hoping to find my answer, but no one seemed to have noticed..Your last two ingredients are
1 cup brewed coffee, room temperature
⅓ coconut oil
My question is 1/3 what of coconut oil, I am pretty sure it is 1/3 cup, but I thought I would check!
That is correct! I’ll adjust the recipe to state that. Thanks for dropping by! Enjoy the muffins.
