Coco Cocoa Muffins

Funny name, huh?!

These are coconut chocolate muffins that I made recently and I had to share the recipe.  I add shredded coconut to many baked goods and even sprinkle it on my oatmeal in the morning.  It adds a richness and chewiness that I just love.  So when I saw this recipe on Pinterest, I knew I had to try it.

2 eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup milk
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut, plus another 1/4 cup for topping

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Add the eggs, oil, milk, sugar and vanilla to a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, nutmeg, salt and 1/2 cup of the shredded coconut. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, beating well between additions. Pour the batter into a muffin pan lined with paper muffin cups to about 1/4 inch from the top of the paper. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of coconut on top. Bake for 20-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of one of the muffins comes out clean.
