The ideal dish to cool off with is these Vietnamese spring rolls. A thin rice wrapper is folded up with poached shrimp, rice noodles, herbs, and lettuce. With the dipping sauce, sweet and sour, serve.

Changes were made. Did the increase in coconut and added 2 tbsp of milk to liquid. Also changed vegetable oil to coconut oil and substituted monk fruit for the sugar for truly sugar free muffin. It says to pour batter but it came out like stiff cookie dough. I added about another half a cup of milk and even then dropped in clumps of dough. That being said they tasted great though dense. Will make again knowing to increase liquid

Very good! Did what the other post suggested….added more coconut and milk.

These were very good. I did take the suggestion of increasing the coconut to 1/2 cup, and added 2 Tbls milk. My husband said they tasted like coconut cream pie. We will make these again for sure.

I love coconut so these muffins sounded like something I would like. This muffin may have potential if it had more coconut and wasn’t so dry. If I make these again, I will add some milk so the batter is not so thick and increase the coconut to 1/2 cup or more.

Very good muffin with lots of coconut flavor. The batter was very thick so I added some milk to thin it. Shared with friends that were impressed and asked for the recipe. I will make these again.
