Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins

Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins are fluffy muffins with the perfect texture throughout. The coconut flavours pop in every bite taken, and is paired with vanilla and mini chocolate chips for the perfect pockets of chocolate throughout. They are seriously so good!

Made with simple ingredients, these coconut muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. They're light, fluffy, and have the best texture.

The muffins use extra-virgin coconut oil and coconut milk, which creates the best coconut flavor and gives them an incredibly tender crumb! Paired with the shredded coconut, they are seriously loaded up with coconut.

I used mini chocolate chips in these muffins, which I find adds the perfect pockets of chocolate throughout, without being to overpowering.

Step by step instructions

Here is how to make and bake these Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins. You will need a 12 muffin tin, muffin liners, 2 mixing bowls, a spatula, and a whisk.

Step 1 – Prep. Line your muffin tin with 10 liners and set aside. If you need a recommendation, this is my favourite tin.

Step 2 – Mix together dry ingredients. In a medium-sized bowl, add in the dry ingredients; flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt. Mix and set aside.

Step 3 – Mix wet ingredients. In a large bowl add the wet ingredients; white sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, coconut oil, coconut milk, and sour cream. Whisk until combined (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 4 - Combine. Add the dry into the wet and gently fold until a soft muffin batter forms. Don't over-mix!

Step 5 - Mix in add-ins. Add the mini chocolate chips and shredded coconut and stir together a few times to combine - don't over-mix!

Step 6 - Scoop and bake. Fill the liners to the top with batter and sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips on top.

Step 7 - Bake. The muffins bake for 23-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool, and enjoy!

These coconut muffins are best served fresh day of or next day. Enjoy for up to 3 days on the counter stored in a container, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

No. You can add just plain oil as long as the oil adds up to 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp total. I like adding coconut oil as it adds more coconut flavour into the muffins.

No, but I highly recommend it if you can as it helps enhance the coconut flavor. You can substitute for any milk at room temperature.
