Fresh out of the oven.I’ve been in a baking mood of late… I don’t usually bake as much as I cook really because all those precision in baking sometimes puts me off. I hate measuring stuff. But this muffin is a one hit score! because it’s awfully good and it melts in your mouth. It’s really quite simple to make and you can add whatever variables you want into your muffin mixture.. I so happened to add chocolate chips, coconut, and raisins into mine. I wanted to celebrate the arrival of summer and coconut reminds me of a sandy beach, while raisins reminded me of the sun. 
This recipe yields 12 large muffins, if you want smaller ones, you’ll obviously yield more. However, i must warn you that these muffins are totally addictive because of it’s light and fluffy texture.

bloomingtree: nice of you to drop in here as well

what an interesting food blog. came here from timothy;s blog. question, re, fresh grated coconut. in the malaysian context, i presume it the one we use for santan right? so, how? you just buy the whole coconut, and grate it yourself? leaving the santan intact?
fatboybakes: Yea that’s exactly what it is, fresh grated coconut with the santan intact still
Oh, and it just occurred to me that you might want to try to toast the grated coconut on the pan a little until it is slightly brown and fragrant…then your muffins will be even more coconuttier 
Thanks for dropping by
