These Chocolate Coconut Muffins are not only delicious but also simple to prepare, featuring the perfect harmony of chocolate and coconut flavors. This recipe is ideal for those seeking a dessert with minimal egg content.
The batter for these Chocolate Coconut Muffins is egg-free, making them suitable for individuals looking to reduce egg consumption in their desserts. While egg whites are used in the topping, feel free to explore alternative toppings to maintain an eggless option.
How to make chocolate coconut muffins
Start by preheating the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease muffin cups generously to prevent sticking.
In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients, sugar, flour, coconut flakes, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add water, vinegar, vanilla extract, and oil to the dry mixture, stirring until well incorporated. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the muffins bake, prepare the white glaze. Whip the egg white until foamy, then gradually add sugar and lemon juice while continuing to whip until a thick meringue forms. Fold in the coconut flakes, and place the mixture over a bain-marie, whipping until the foam is hot. Form small round balls of the mixture and garnish the tops of the muffins with them.
For the chocolate glaze, combine butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the glaze thickens and darkens. Drizzle or sprinkle the chocolate glaze over or around the muffins as desired.

My hair stylist loves chocolate and coconut and I can’t wait to bake a batch of these for her. Silly me, I have to bake a batch for us also!
These are gorgeous! I LOVE coconut….but paired with chocolate….YUM! : )
This looks amazing! Nice job! I just love the combo of chocolate and coconut- so glad to have a new muffin recipe!
Your muffins look beautiful. I love the fact that the glaze on top is made with egg white instead of the normal powdered sugar and water.
You can’t go wrong with the combo of chocolate and coconut! These sound amazing!
I am having a little bit of a love affair with coconut right now and this desert means I don’t have to cheat on chocolate. Thanks.
I let out a little gasp when I saw this photo on today’s Top 9 at Foodbuzz. These look so yummy. My first favorite candybar was Almond Joy, so I love coconut and chocolate. I’ve moved on to more sophisticated chocolate truffles and ganaches since then, but still love the coconut and chocolate combo.
Foarte frumoase!

Hello. I love your website and your YouTube channel! I look at your videos every day! I have some questions about this recipe:
1. Could you please put the quantities of the ingredients in grams and millilitres?
2. Are these mini muffins or regular sized muffins? They look smaller in the picture.
3. Could I use desiccated coconut instead of flakes? If yes, how much do I need?
Thank you so much for your help!
