A delicious Citrus Coconut Muffins recipe which I got from Baker Street. Super delicious and a hit in my Diwali basket too!
Yes, its time for Muffin Monday again and I can’t tell you how much I am loving this concept (and the Citrus Coconut Muffins). One, I don’t have to think much what to give Ojas for snack box at least two days, He takes the muffins I bake and secondly, muffins are so much fun to bake and with a lovely group like that, its totally fun.
This week the muffins were extra special to me as I baked them for my Diwali basket. For my non Indian readers, Diwali is the one of the biggest festivals in India which celebrated with lights and crackers. The atmosphere is much like Xmas, joy and happiness all around. This year too, like last year, I have decided to give home made baskets as Diwali presents instead of buying sweets from outside.
The muffins were deliciously soft, the citrus flavour added a lovely punch and the coconut gave that crunch which added a beautiful balance to the whole thing.
We loved baking these muffins in this house, hope you had fun too. This is one muffin which has the perfect flavors for Diwali. We all love coconut in our sweets. When you bake a muffin with a combination of citrusy flavors and coconut, it sure turns out to be a super hit. I think coconut and citrus flavors really come together to create magic in the muffins.
For the recipe and the rest of the Muffins this Monday go here.
