Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
• 0.75 cups Chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Gently fold in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips (if using). Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm for a gooey, comforting treat.
