I love muffins and love making them when I can, I decided to make these after looking at a few recipes and checking what I had on hand. I came up with this muffin idea when I seen I had flavored yogurts and coconut and other ingredients and decided to try making them. They are super moist and so delicious. The coconut and key lime flavors come together so well in this recipe. My sons enjoyed them with milk, I enjoyed them with coffee. Great snack, dessert, simple breakfast.
